Description

George Buchanan's De Iure Regni apud Scotos Dialogus stands as one of the most influential political texts of the Renaissance, first published in Edinburgh in 1579. This critical edition and translation examines Buchanan's revolutionary theory of popular sovereignty, which argued that the people held the right to resist, depose and even kill tyrannical monarchs. Originally written to justify the 1567 deposition of Mary, Queen of Scots and dedicated to his pupil James VI, the Dialogus challenged prevailing notions of absolute monarchy and shaped political thought across Europe. Buchanan (1506-82) was celebrated by contemporaries as the greatest Latin poet of his age and ranks among the most distinguished humanists of the Northern European Renaissance. This scholarly volume from the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series provides modern readers with access to Buchanan's groundbreaking arguments on political resistance, legitimacy and the limits of royal authority during a transformative period in Scottish and European history.

Key Features

The Dialogus presents Buchanan's theory of popular sovereignty and the people's right to resist tyrannical monarchs, a radical doctrine for 16th-century political thought.

This critical edition offers both the original Latin text and an English translation, making Buchanan's De Iure Regni apud Scotos accessible to contemporary scholars.

The work justifies the 1567 deposition of Mary, Queen of Scots through detailed political and constitutional arguments grounded in humanist learning.

Published as part of the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series, this volume contextualises Buchanan's ideas within broader Scottish Reformation scholarship.

Dedicated to James VI, the text illuminates the tensions between Buchanan's political radicalism and his pupil's later development of absolutist monarchy theory.
