No, for real though, I thought Machiavelli said it was satirical after torture. Honestly, though, I don't actually know if is was intended as satire from the start. Was it?

He wrote it shortly after being tortured by the Medici; it wasn't published until after Machiavelli's death [although it was likely circulated before then].
