The Jesuit Juan de Mariana (1535-1624) is among the such a lot misunderstood authors within the historical past of political notion. His treatise "De rege et regis institutione libri tres" (1599) is devoted to Philip III of Spain. It used to be to offer the rules of statecraft wherein the younger king used to be to abide. but quickly after its ebook, Catholic and Calvinist politiques in France began branding Mariana a regicide. "De rege" used to be stated to empower the non-public person to kill a valid king.

"De rege" is outstanding in that it strings jointly a curious scholastic concept of the origins of society, a conservative ideology of absolute monarchy and a breathtakingly radical imaginative and prescient of theocratic renewal of Spanish govt and society.
