Sommario/riassunto

This book aims first to provide an account of a pivotal episode in the historical evolution of the idea of sovereignty - the supreme authority to command, legislate, and judge - in the thirteenth century. It also aims to reconnect early modern theorists of sovereignty to the medieval intellectual tradition out of which they emerged.
