Summary

James of Viterbo s De regimine Christiano was produced at the height of the great conflict of 1296 1303 between Pope Boniface VIII and Philip the Fair of France. Echoing and elaborating Boniface s Bull Unam sanctam, the treatise is a detailed and rigorous defence of the hierocratic ideology of the thirteenth-century papacy in its most ambitious form. As such, it stands alongside the better-known De ecclesiastica potestate of Giles of Rome, by which it is to some extent influenced. De regimine Christiano is here presented in a new and complete critical edition, accompanied by an English translation and a detailed introduction. This edition will be of value to scholars and students of the history of political thought and international relations.Brills Texts and Sources in Intellectual History, vol. 6
