Hugo Grotius, De imperio summarum potestatum circa sacra (2 vols.)
Critical edition with Introduction, English Translation and Commentary
Series: - Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, Volume: 102
Author:
This book contains the mature fruit of Hugo Grotius' political thought on church and state. It was finished in 1617, but Grotius' arrest prevented publication.
For the first time Grotius' own Latin text is printed here, from two manuscripts. It is demonstrated that the claims made by the publisher of the first edition (1647), the source of all subsequent editions, are false.
The first critical edition is provided with an extensive introduction, an English translation, a commentary, and elaborate indices. In an appendix texts concerning its context and genesis are printed. An earlier draft of De imperio was recently discovered. All material from this unpublished work has been integrated here.
This fundamental, theoretical text, written for an international public, anticipates many views from later Grotian work. All volumes of the print edition are available in individual e-books: 9789004530898 (volume 1) - 9789004530911 (volume 2).
