Paperback. Condition: New. For at least two centuries after its first appearance in 1573 Hotman's Francogallia influenced the way in which men regarded the European past and appraised the validity of political institutions. The intricate collation of the variorum Latin readings by Professor Giesey here demonstrates that nearly half the complete work consists of material added by Hotman to later editions in such a manner as substantially to modify the argument and balance of the original Francogallia. This definitive Latin edition contains a facing English translation by Professor Salmon, and a joint introduction in which the editors discuss the genesis and development of the text, which can no longer be regarded as written in response to the massacre of St Bartholomew. The editors analyse the discordant elements in Hotman's thought as his Calvinist background, his fundamentalism in both constitutional and religious doctrine and his ambivalent attitude to his profession as an eminent jurist.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2006. 1 volume/1. -- NEUF -- Broché collé . Format in-8°( 21,3 x 15 cm)( 540 gr ). --------- 396 pages. ************** "" Ce grand livre d'histoire politique traite du rôle joué par la loi salique dans la succession française sous les Valois et les Bourbons. Traditionnellement, cette loi, prétendument établie par les anciens francs, qui interdisait aux filles de roi et à leurs descendants toute prétention à la succession royale, aurait été inventée et diffusée par les rois français par refus du principe féminin, selon une misogynie éternelle ou nouvelle (liée à la promotion de l'Etat). L'auteur montre qu'il n'en est rien et que la loi a été brandie ou récusée, parfois par les mêmes personnes, pour justifier des ambitions personnelles ou de lignage, en concurrence avec d'autres groupes ou individus. Autrement dit, elle a été utilisée comme instrument pratique non comme arme idéologique. Chaque dossier de succession est examinée de près, avec des documents nouvellement connus ou analysés: après avoir montré l'absence de problème chez les capétiens directs (chapitre1), l'auteur considère la succession de 1315 (chapitre2), puis la promotion de la branche Valois en 1328 (chapitres 3 et 4), en se concentrant sur le mythe de la loi salique (chapitre 5), avant de passer au traité de Troyes (1420), qui soumet la France à l'Angleterre en liant la succession des rois anglais à la loi salique (chapitre 6). Puis le sort de la loi salique s'associe avec la notion nouvelle de « princes du sang » et à la fin de la dynastie Valois (chapitre 7, 8, 9) et au début de celle de Bourbons (chapitre 10). "" *************.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Quel fut reellement le role de la loi salique dans la succession a la couronne de France? Quel principe justifiait que femme ne succede pas au royaume ? Quelles furent les raisons de l'avenement des Valois? Comment les Bourbons monterent-ils sur le trone? C'est avec une erudition remarquable, en s'appuyant sur des documents negliges et sur de nombreuses sources juridiques, que Ralph E. Giesey repond a toutes ces questions. Il montre que, contrairement a l'opinion communement admise, le droit d'une fille de roi a revendiquer le trone de France, en l'absence d'un heritier male, fut officiellement reconnu par la famille royale et les grands du royaume en 1316, et que l'exclusion des femmes avait des motifs purement politiques et pas misogynes. C'est dans le debat sur la legitimite des Valois que la loi salique et son article d'exclusion furent invoques pour la premiere fois. Cense exclure de la succession a la couronne les filles de roi et leurs fils, l'article fut decouvert par un juriste italien du xive siecle et repris par plusieurs auteurs qui inventerent ainsi, en se fondant sur des textes expurges ou mal compris, ce que Ralph E. Giesey appelle la legende de la loi salique . Battue en breche par des juristes de la Renaissance, la legende reussit a se maintenir. L'exclusion des males en ligne feminine deboucha sur la notion de princes du sang, capitale pour comprendre la fin des Valois, les demeles d'Henri de Navarre avec la Ligue et l'avenement des Bourbons.Professeur emerite a l'universite de l'Iowa, Ralph E. Giesey fut l'assistant d'Ernst H. Kantorowicz a l'Institute for Advanced Study de Princeton. Il est unanimement reconnu comme un specialiste de la pensee juridique de la France de l'Ancien Regime, et on lui doit notamment Le Roi ne meurt jamais, ouvrage qui connut un grand retentissement. Quel fut reellement le role de la loi salique dans la succession a la couronne de France ? Quel principe justifiait que femme ne succede pas au royaume ? Quelles furent les raisons de l'avenement des Valois ? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
