Excerpt from A History of Medieval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 4 IN this volume I have endeavoured to put together some detailed account of the theories of the relations of the Papacy and the Empire from the beginning of the tenth century to the latter part of the twelfth. I have not endeavoured to deal with the more general subject of the relations or opposi tions of the ecclesiastical order and the secular. Some aspects of these have been already discussed in the first and second volumes of this work, and we shall probably return to them in the next volume but I should like to remind our readers that the subject of this work is not the history, either civil or ecclesiastical, of the Middle Ages, but the political theories, and we deal with the relations of the Temporal and Spiritual powers only so far as they seem to us to have tended to influence the development of these theories.

Excerpt from A History of Mediaeval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 2: The Political Theory of the Roman Lawyers and the Canonists, From the Tenth Century to the Thirteenth Century With this volume we begin the treatment of the political theory of the great period of the Middle Ages, our first volume having really the character of an introduction to this. The materials have, on closer examination, proved to be so large and complex that we have been compelled to devote a whole volume to the political ideas embodied in the two great systems of law which are derived directly from the ancient world. I have felt very keenly how difficult and dangerous a thing it is for a student of history, who has no technical legal training, to deal with those great juristic documents; and indeed I should have felt much hesitation in presenting the result of this work to the public if it had not been for the great kindness of a number of scholars eminent in the civil and the canon law. I must therefore express my most sincere thanks, first to Professor Fitting of Halle, Professor Meynial of Paris, and Professor Vinogradoff of Oxford, who have very kindly read the proofs of the first part- of this volume: and secondly, to Professor Andrea Galante of Innsbruck, who has been so kind as to read the proofs of the second part.

Excerpt from A History of Mediaeval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 5: The Political Theory of the Thirteenth Century It is now a little more than thirty-five years since we began this work, and this volume represents more or less what we then thought to produce, but we had not gone very far before we recognised that in order to understand the real character of the poetical theory of the Middle Ages it was necessary to go back for many centuries, especially to the Roman Jurists of the second century, and to the Christian Fathers, and even to make some examination of the political conceptions of the post-Aristotelian philosophy, from which both Jurists and Fathers derived some of their most important principles. We have in previous volumes therefore endeavoured to set out something of the history of mediaeval political theory, and to give their due weight to the various traditions out of which it arose, and by which it was influenced in varying degrees. In this volume we have endeavoured to set out the culmination of this long process of development in the thirteenth century. We hope to publish another volume dealing with the movements of political thought from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries - that is, during the period of the Renaissance - and to inquire what if any new conceptions of importance took their rise during these centuries, and thus to see more clearly how far modern political conceptions are continuous with those of the Middle Ages.

Excerpt from A History of Mediæval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 5: The Political Theory of the Thirteenth Century The normal political theory of the Middle Ages was not Aristotelian, but was derived from the post-aristotelian philosophy mainly through the Roman Law and the Christian Fathers. It was not till the thirteenth century that mediaeval thinkers became acquainted with the Aristotelian political theory. In this chapter we shall consider the effects of this discovery in the attempt made by St Thomas Aquinas to restate some fundamental conceptions of political theory in the terms of Aristotle.

Excerpt from A History of Mediaeval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 3: Political Theory From the Tenth Century to the Thirteenth The first principle of the political theory of the Middle Ages is that the function of political authority is to maintain justice, 18l - this is the real meaning of the conception that the authority of the king is divine, 182 - the second principle is the supremacy of law as the embodiment of justice, 183 - the third is that the relation between ruler and people is founded upon the mutual obligation and agreement to maintain justice and law, 185.

Excerpt from A History of Mediæval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 1: The Second Century to the Ninth Between the active and profound political thought of Plato and Aristotle and the energetic political speculation of modern times there lies a great interval of time and an almost equally great interval of character. It has Often been thought that between these periods there was no such thing as a living and active political theory. It has been thought that with the disappearance of the free Greek communities political specula tion became wholly abstract and lifeless; that the freedom of men's political thought was first crushed by the weight of the great empires, and then lost in the confusion of the barbaric invasions in which the ancient civilisation perished, and that in the sixteenth century political theory arose suddenly and without any immediate antecedents, being grounded in part upon original reflection, abstract or related to actual political conditions, and in part on the recovery of ancient philosophy.
