Pope Leo X commissioned Machiavelli to write a history of Florence in 1520. In 1525, Machiavelli presented Pope Clement VII with eight books comprising the origin of Florence up to 1492, which was as much a tracing of the Medici family line as it was a political history. Niccolo Machiavelli is also known for his other works, The Art of War, The Prince, and Discourse on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy, being a history of Rome.
