Politische Reflexion in Der Welt Des Späten Mittelalters / Political Thought in the Age of Scholasticism: Essays in Honour of Jürgen Miethke: 103 (Studies in Medieval & Reformation Thought) - Tapa dura

This volume investigates the methods of political theory in the later Middle Ages. It presents both case studies of prominent authors like Marsilius of Padua, William of Ockham and Baldus de Ubaldis, and the attempt to outline the phenomenon of political consultation and its conditions from late antiquity to the Reformation. Questions of specific textual traditions in political commentaries are treated, as well as the particular environment in which the authors struggled for influence.
