"The Libri Feudorum (the 'books of fiefs') are the earliest written body of feudal customs in Europe, codified in northern Italy c.1100-1250, which gave rise to feudal law as a branch of civil law. Their role in shaping modern ideas of feudalism has aroused an intense debate among medievalists, leading to deep re-thinking of the 'feudal' vocabulary and categories. This book offers an up-to-date English translation with a working Latin text introduced by a historical and historiographical overview of the Libri, thereby providing a valuable tool to understanding the long-standing importance of this collection over nine centuries of European history"--

Klappentext: La Repubblica ebraica fu uno dei modelli per il pensiero politico del XVI secolo. Lo scopo di questo libro è di ricostruire l'origine di questo interesse, mostrando come certi autori (Bodin, Bertram e Sigonio) abbiano usato la tradizione ebraica in modo ideologico, al fine di legittimare il loro differente impegno politico. Sigonio, in particolare, scrisse in merito alle istituzioni politiche ebraiche, modellandole sulla sua idea aristotelica di uno stato governato da legge e aristocrazia.
