Everything suggests that the king was personally involved in the work’s conception and that the final version is the fruit of collaboration between the author and his sponsor. That is why it can rightly be held that the study of the content of this tract, the dialogue in it relating to the king, his virtues and power, the various political, religious, even recreational themes addressed, highlights Charles V’s personality and intellectual activity.
