Cet ouvrage opère un retour sur le problème théologico-politique de l'obéissance civile au cœur de la Réforme protestante. En France, les guerres de Religion (1560-1598) ont été l'occasion, pour certains sujets calvinistes, de redéfinir la pensée politique pour l'ouvrir à la résistance légitime au Roi. Cette reconfiguration du système monarchique est souvent attribuée aux penseurs que l'historiographie a appelés « monarchomaques », ces héritiers de Calvin qui, dans les heures les plus sombres des violences interreligieuses, auraient élaboré une théorie de la juste prise d'armes. Or, de Calvin aux monarchomaques, la réflexion protestante sur le pouvoir s'est développée sous la plume des publicistes du mouvement réformé. Ce livre s'attache particulièrement à ces apologistes qui, de Calvin à Philippe Duplessis-Mornay, ont réfléchi aux conditions de l'obéissance au roi dans la fidélité à Dieu.

Lo studio dei rapporti tra agiografia e censura è un campo di indagine ancora poco esplorato. Questo libro, frutto di estese ricerche in biblioteche e archivi ecclesiastici e statali, ricostruisce le modalità con cui le gerarchie romane hanno controllato le vite dei santi grazie alla pratica della censura preventiva e dell'autocensura coatta da parte dell'autore. Questi testi, promossi dagli ordini religiosi, sono importanti perché erano tra i pochi a circolare in volgare e a livello popolare. Oltre ai roghi e alle liste dei libri proibiti è esistita una pressione culturale media sospesa tra conformismo, prescrizione e obbedienza che non ha toccato le punte alte del pensiero, bensì ha agito in basso con effetti rilevanti, ma troppo spesso trascurati, sulla qualità della vita culturale e religiosa italiana.

A decade ago in the Times Literary Supplement, Roderick Conway Morris claimed that "almost everything that was going to happen in book publishing-from pocket books, instant books and pirated books, to the concept of author's copyright, company mergers, and remainders-occurred during the early days of printing." Ian Maclean's colorful survey of the flourishing learned book trade of the late Renaissance brings this assertion to life. The story he tells covers most of Europe, with Frankfurt and its Fair as the hub of intellectual exchanges among scholars and of commercial dealings among publishers. The three major religious confessions jostled for position there, and this rivalry affected nearly all aspects of learning. Few scholars were exempt from religious or financial pressures. Maclean's chosen example is the literary agent and representative of international Calvinism, Melchior Goldast von Haiminsfeld, whose activities included opportunistic involvement in the political disputes of the day. Maclean surveys the predicament of underfunded authors, the activities of greedy publishing entrepreneurs, the fitful interventions of regimes of censorship and licensing, and the struggles faced by sellers and buyers to achieve their ends in an increasingly overheated market. The story ends with an account of the dramatic decline of the scholarly book trade in the 1620's, and the connivance of humanist scholars in the values of the commercial world through which they aspired to international recognition. Their fate invites comparison with today's writers of learned books, as they too come to terms with new technologies and changing academic environments.

"This work surveys the history, lifestyle and impact of the friars in Ireland from the arrival of the Dominicans in 1224 to the Henrican campaign to dissolve the religious houses in 1540. It constitutes the first attempt to examine the mendicant phenomenon as a whole rather than focusing on individual orders and friaries. The first three chapters give a chronological overview of the arrival and initial expansion of the friars in the thirteenth century, through the upheavals of the fourteenth century and the emergence of vigorous reform parties within each order in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The second section consists of seven chapters that examine discrete aspects of mendicant lifestyle and ministry. These include analyses of the friars' relationships with their patrons, benefactors and critics. The mendicant lifestyle forms the subject of one chapter, as does the friars' efficacy as preachers, confessors and counsellors. Particular attention is devoted to the educational and formation structures within each order, as well as to devotional and liturgical activities. The art and architecture of the friaries is examined in another chapter. The volume concludes with an epilogue detailing the developments and upheavals in Irish mendicant life during the tumultuous decade between 1530 and 1540."--Cover p. [4].

Der Konflikt zwischen der Hugenottenmetropole La Rochelle und der französischen Krone zwischen 1568 und 1630, der in der spektakulären Belagerung von 1628/29 gipfelte, war ein Kampf um die Legitimation von Herrschaft im frühneuzeitlichen Frankreich. Die neuartige Ideologie der Absoluten Monarchie steht dabei traditionellen, an Konsens und Privilegienwahrung interessierten Modellen gegenüber. Die Studie zeichnet die Durchsetzung dieses "Pilotprojekts Absolutismus" nicht nur als rein ideengeschichtlichen Prozess nach, sondern verortet diesen in konkreten politischen und konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen der monarchischen Zentrale und ihrem "Anderen", der reformierten Stadtrepublik La Rochelle am Atlantiksaum. Die Idee der Absoluten Monarchie kann so nicht nur als politische Theorie verstanden werden, sondern vor allem als Argumentationsreservoir im Kampf um die politische Ordnung Frankreichs im Zeitalter der Religionskriege.
