What Wikipedia says

The Mandrake (Italian: La Mandragola [la manˈdraːɡola]) is a satirical play by Italian Renaissance philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli. The five-act comedy was published in 1524. Though it is focused on private, non-political affairs, some scholars read into the play as being a mirror to his political treatises.
