Almost on the eve of the sixteenth-century Reformation, the long-running debate over the respective authority of popes and councils in the Catholic Church was vigorously resumed. In this collection the editors bring together the first English translation of four major contributions to that debate. In these texts, complex arguments derived from Scripture, theology, and canon law are deployed. The issues that emerge, however, prove to have a broader significance. What is foreshadowed here is the confrontation between 'absolutism' and 'constitutionalism' which was to be a dominant theme in the politics of early-modern Europe and beyond. Even on the threshold of the twenty-first century the concerns that underlie and animate the scholastic disputations in these pages retain their force. This 1997 volume includes introductory material which elucidates the context of the debate, as well as a comprehensive bibliography.

Tiré d'une thèse de doctorat, le présent livre a pour ambition de proposer, dans le cadre d'une vaste entreprise s'attachant à élucider les origines du constitutionnalisme occidental, une relecture de la contribution de l'Église à ce phénomène particulier. En s'attachant, à travers une analyse de différents modèles d'organisation du pouvoir au cours de son histoire, elle insiste sur le Grand Schisme et sur le mouvement conciliariste, à la fin du Moyen Âge, en tant qu'ils ont tout à la fois cristallisé et unifié certains discours et pratiques d'une forme de gouvernement constitutionnel au sein d'une Église qui a pu alors léguer un incomparable matériau conceptuel et technique aux structures séculières en gestation.

How was power justified in late medieval Europe? What justifications did people find convincing, and why? Based around the two key intellectual movements of the fifteenth century, conciliarism in the church and humanism, this study explores the justifications for the distribution of power and authority in fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Europe. By examining the arguments that convinced people in this period, Joseph Canning demonstrates that it was almost universally assumed that power had to be justified but that there were fundamentally different kinds of justification employed. Against the background of juristic thought, Canning presents a new interpretative approach to the justifications of power through the lenses of conciliarism, humanism and law, throwing fresh light on our understanding of both conciliarists' ideas and the contribution of Italian Renaissance humanists.
