Description

Explore a vital piece of political history with this critical edition and translation of George Buchanan's De Iure Regni apud Scotos Dialogus. Part of the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History, this volume offers deep insight into the work of one of the Northern European Renaissance's most significant humanists. George Buchanan, celebrated by his contemporaries as a premier Latin poet, is recognized for his radical political theories. His Dialogus, originally published in Edinburgh in 1579, provided the theoretical justification for the deposition of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1567. This text presents a theory of popular sovereignty, arguing that the people hold the right to resist, depose, and kill tyrannical monarchs. This edition is essential for students and historians interested in Stuart Britain and the evolution of political thought. It provides a clear look at the ideas that shaped the relationship between rulers and the ruled during a period of immense change in Great Britain.
