The Shadow of Antenor: On the Relationship Between the Defensor Pacis and the Institutions of the City of Padua

Piaia, Gregorio, ‘The Shadow of Antenor: On the Relationship Between the Defensor Pacis and the Institutions of the City of Padua,’ in Kaufhold (ed.), Politische Reflexion, (Brill, 2004) 193-207.

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 or 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.
