He was the first to attack kingship as despotism and to draw parallels between ancient Greek models of mixed constitution and the Roman Republic, biblical rule, the Church, and medieval government.In addition to his translation of this important and radical medieval political treatise, written around 1300, James M. Blythe includes a sixty-page introduction to the work and provides over 1200 footnotes that trace Ptolemy's sources, explain his references, and comment on the text, the translation, the context, and the significance. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aPolitical science$vEarly works to 1800 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a320.1/01 700 $aBartholomew$cof Lucca,$fca. 1236-1327.$0330585 701 $aBlythe$b James M.$f1948-$0614758 701 $aThomas$cAquinas, Saint,$f1225?-1274.$0290144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457383603321 996 $aOn the government of rulers$92485229 997 $aUNINA
