"William of Ockham (c. 1285-c. 1347) was a Franciscan friar who came to believe that the Avignon papacy of John XXII had set out to destroy the religious ideal on which the Franciscan order was based: the complete poverty of Christ and the apostles. This book is the first publication in English of the complete surviving text of any of the historically and theoretically important texts that Ockham wrote as a consequence of this perception. The 'Short Discourse on Tyrannical Government' deals with the question of papal power on a broad scale, uncharacteristic of Ockham's earlier apolitical involvement in dogmatic controversy. It is a passionate yet compellingly lucid statement of Ockham's position on the most fundamental political problem of the medieval period: the relationship between supreme spiritual authority, as represented by the pope, and the autonomous secular authority claimed by the medieval empire and the emerging nation-states of Europe.".
