I. We have already seen, not only who may make War, but for I.The Subject and what Reasons too they are permitted to engage in it. We are now Design of this Book. to enquire1 what is allowable in War, and how far, and in what Circumstances it is so. And this we must consider, either simply in itself, or with Regard to some antecedent Promise. What is simply in itself allowable in War, shall be considered first from the Law of Nature, and then from that of Nations. To begin with what Nature allows. II. 1. And here we must observe, First, That in Things of a moral II.In War all Things Nature, as we have often said before,1 thosea Means which necessary to the End conduce to a certain End, do assume the very Nature of that End: are lawful. And therefore we are supposed to be authorised to employ those<517> Things, which are (in a moral, not a physical Sense)2 necessary to the obtaining our just Rights. By Right I understand what is strictly so called, and imports that3 Power of acting which is intirely founded on the Good of Society. Wherefore, as we have remarked elsewhere,b if I cannot otherwise save my Life, I may, by any Force whatever, repel him who attempts it, tho’, perhaps, he who does so is not any ways to blame. Because this Right does not properly arise from the other’s Crime, but from that Prerogative with which Nature has invested me, of defending myself. 2. By which also I am impowered to invade and seize upon what belongs to another, without considering whether he be in fault or no, whenever what is his threatens mec with any imminent Danger; but I am not to claim a Property in it, for that is not necessary to the End in Question, but only to detain it till my Security be sufficiently provided for; as we have elsewhered declared. So by the Law of Nature I have a Right to take from any one what he has of mine,4 and if this cannot easily be effected, I may take what is equivalent to it; ande this I may do too for the Recovery of Debt. And in those Cases I become Proprietor of what I have taken, because there is no other Way of redressing the Inequality that was to my Disadvantage. PLL v6.0 (generated September, 2011) 6 http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/1427 Online Library of Liberty: The Rights of War and Peace (2005 ed.) vol. 3 (Book III) 3. So likewise where the Punishment is just, there all Manner of Violence and Force, and whatever is a Means necessary to execute that Punishment, or is a Part of it, is just too; as Devastations by Fire, or otherwise, provided that they exceed not the Bounds of Equity, but bear a Proportion to the Offence committed. III. We must remember, Secondly, That this our Right is not to III.What is lawful and be accounted for only by the first Occasion of the War, but also right does not arise from other subsequent Causes; as in a Suit of Law, where the only from the contending Party does often acquire and find out a new Right, Occasion of the War, after the Process is commenced, which was not thought of but also from incident Causes in the Course before.

  • Lipsius En Livius. Klassieke Filologie in De Zestiende Eeuw
    149 Lipsius en Livius. Klassieke filologie in de zestiende eeuw Marijke CRAB Abstract Whereasthe Flemish humanist Justus Lipsius has won the highest praise forhis successive commented editions of Tacitus’ Annales and Historiae, hitherto no attention has been paid to his philological and antiquarian study of Livy. By editing, emending and lecturing on Livy’s monumental history of Rome, however, Lipsius not only followed in the footsteps of famous scholars such as Petrarch, Henricus Glareanus and Carolus Sigonius, but also continued a tradition at the Louvain Collegium Trilingue. A close investigation of Lipsius’ Epistolicae Quaestiones, which contain a masterly sample oftextual criticism, enables us to judge Lipsius’ correction of Livy against the emendatio lipsiana applied to Tacitus, thus shedding light on both the methods and achievements of one of the leading classical phi- lologists of the sixteenth century. De figuur van humanist Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) behoeft eigenlijk geen inleiding. Zijn verdiensten op het vlak van pedagogie en filosofie zijn in het verleden uitvoerig behandeld; hier gaat de aandacht uit naar Lipsius’ pres- taties op twee andere domeinen, met name de klassieke filologie en — daar- mee samenhangend — de oude geschiedenis. Lipsius’ filologische interesse leidde tot twee soorten publicaties: enerzijds schreef Lipsius aan het begin van zijn carrière een reeks zuiver tekstkritische werken, anderzijds ver- zorgde hij zijn leven lang edities van klassieke auteurs. Zijn antiquarische belangstelling resulteerde in talloze monografieën over het antieke Rome, met gevarieerde onderwerpen als gladiatorenspelen, het Romeinse leger en antieke bibliotheken. ' Gezien Lipsius’ belangstelling voor klassieke teksten enerzijds en oude geschiedenis anderzijds, is het niet verwonderlijk dat er binnen zijn oeuvre een belangrijke plaats is weggelegd voor de antieke his- toriografen.

  • The Role of Italy in Milton's Early Poetic Development
    Italia Conquistata: The Role of Italy in Milton’s Early Poetic Development Submitted by Paul Slade to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in December 2017 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract My thesis explores the way in which the Italian language and literary culture contributed to John Milton’s early development as a poet (over the period up to 1639 and the composition of Epitaphium Damonis). I begin by investigating the nature of the cultural relationship between England and Italy in the late medieval and early modern periods. I then examine how Milton’s own engagement with the Italian language and its literature evolved in the context of his family background, his personal contacts with the London Italian community and modern language teaching in the early seventeenth century as he grew to become a ‘multilingual’ poet. My study then turns to his first published collection of verse, Poems 1645. Here, I reconsider the Italian elements in Milton’s early poetry, beginning with the six poems he wrote in Italian, identifying their place and significance in the overall structure of the volume, and their status and place within the Italian Petrarchan verse tradition.

He appeared at Cologne in 1581, where he apparently studied the writings of Aristotle. At some point prior to obtain- ing his doctorate, Althusius also studied law at Geneva with Denis Godefroy (1549–1622), the renowned legal scholar who published the first complete edi- tion of Roman Civil Law in 1583.2 He received his doctorate in both civil and canon law at Basel in 1586. Astonishingly, he published his first book Jurisprudentiae Romanae, which was a systematic treatise on Roman law based on the Godefroy edition, during the same year. While at Basel, he lived for a time in the home of Johannes Grynaeus (1540–1617), with whom he studied Reformed theology and thereafter maintained a lifelong correspon- dence. In 1586, he accepted a call to teach in the newly founded law faculty in the Reformed Academy at Herborn.

  • Giacomo Zabarella, the Author of a Dedication to King Stephen Báthory
    https://doi.org/10.15633/fhc.3736 Zbigniew Liana https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7452-8770 Pontifical University of John Paul II, Faculty of Philosophy Giacomo Zabarella, the Author of a Dedication to King Stephen Báthory Giacomo Zabarella1 (1533–1589) is known primarily as an outstanding logician and natural philosopher in the spirit of Paduan Aristotelianism. In line with the humanist idea of return to literary sources, Zabarella strove to extract Aristotle’s original thought from the confines of mediaeval scholasticism.2 Al- ready in his lifetime, he gained renown as an unequalled interpreter of Aris- totle’s works, and this acclaim only grew after his death. In 1577, King Stephen Báthory invited him to Krakow to lecture on philosophy at a newly planned university. the dedication presented below is a response to the invitation. In the 17th and 18th centuries, a multitude of biographical entries were written about Zabarella’s life. All of them are short and each is based on 1. Latin: Jacobus or Iacobus Zabarella, Italian: Giacomo or Iacopo Zabarella. On the in- consistent spelling of his first name in Italian, see section D below. In contempo- rary Italian dictionaries his name appears as Giacomo Zabarella; see three different biographical entries Zabarella, Giacomo accessible on Treccani website [online].

    The Tridentine Ruling on the WILLIAM Vulgate and Ecclesiastical McCUAIG Censorship in the 1580s^ Summary: Four works by the historian Carlo Sigonio (1523-1584) were made the target ofcensures by ecclesiastical authorities in the early 1580s. His works were neverput on the index ofprohibited books, but the censures reveal the mentality and concerns of the censors more clearly than any other surviving documentationfrom this period. This article examines the censures directed against Sigonio's historical investigation of Old Testament history. By using sources such as the Greek text of the Old Testament, Philo, and Josephus, Sigonio committed the error ofJudaizing. M;.y field of historical study is the sixteenth century, and the overriding problem that interests me is whether or not there was a fundamental conflict between the culture of the Italian Renaissance, which had vanished by the end of the century, and the culture of the Counter Reformation. It is my view that there was, but it is a view that is not universally shared. My paper explores a particular instance of that conflict: the case in point concerns one of the last great humanists of the Italian Renaissance, Carlo Sigonio.^ He was professor of humanity (classical civilization) at the University of Bologna from the 1560s to the 1580s, and a distinguished historian. In the latter part of his career he began to investigate the history of late antiquity, and even ventured into the field of ecclesiastical history with the support of his bishop. This provoked an attack on him from the officials in charge of ecclesiastical censorship in Rome in the early 1580s.

  • Condannata All'oblio. L'inedita Historia Ecclesiastica Di Carlo
    Condannata all’oblio. L’inedita Historia ecclesiastica di Carlo Sigonio e i suoi censori 1 Stefano Zen Dirigente scolastico MIUR [email protected] Riassunto: Il contributo prende in esame le vicende della Historia ecclesiastica di Sigonio, bloccata con successo dal cardinale Guglielmo Sirleto e rimasta inedita fino al 1734, anno in cui fu pubblicata da Filippo Argelati nella raccolta settecentesca delle sue opere. D’accordo con Gabriele Paleotti, papa Gregorio XIII aveva chiesto nel 1578 a Sigonio di elaborare una storia della Chiesa come risposta ufficiale alle protestanti Centurie di Magde- burgo. Tuttavia, già Cesare Baronio stava lavorando a questo stesso progetto storiografico, poi edito a partire dal 1588 con il titolo di Annales Ecclesiastici, e per di più su incarico del cardinale Sirleto. In generale, fu il metodo adottato da Sigonio a provocare la dura reazione di Sirleto e dei censori romani, poiché esso metteva in discussione la sacralità del potere papale, che era a fondamento della Controriforma. Parole chiave: Carlo Sigonio; Storiografia ecclesiastica; Storia sacra; Donazione di Costantino; Primato di Roma; Censura ecclesiastica; Controriforma Abstract: The paper examines the question of Sigonio’s Historia ecclesiastica, blocked successfully by Cardinal Guglielmo Sirleto and remained unpublished until 1734, when it was published by Filippo Argelati in the eight- eenth-century collection of his works. In 1578, in agreement with Gabriele Paleotti, Pope Gregory XIII asked Sigonio to write a history of the Church in polemical response to the Protestant Magdeburg Centuries. However, already Cesare Baronio was working on this same historiographical project, which was the result in the Annales Ecclesiastici, and moreover commissioned by Cardinal Sirleto.

  • X.—A Notice of Some Remarkable Inscriptions on Leaves of Lead, Preserved in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum
    X.—A Notice of some remarkable Inscriptions on Leaves of Lead, preserved in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum. Communicated by WALTER DE GRAY BIRCH, Esq. Read March 16, 1871. IN the year 1841 the British Museum purchased of the Reverend Thomas Butler, among some of the most valuable manuscripts and antiquities it possesses, six remarkable inscriptions, one Greek, four Latin, and one Italian, apparently inscribed with a sharply pointed stylus, upon plates of lead, beaten or hammered to about the thickness of a wafer, and now completely patinated.a As these do not appear to have been published, I propose to lay before you a description of them, accurate copies of their texts, and a few notes explanatory of the history and dates to which they refer. 1. The first, in the Greek language, is of rectangular shape, measuring three five-eighths by nearly four inches, upon a thin bractea or leaf of lead now patinated with a rich brown oxide, and roughly indented on the edges, the result either of injury or decay. It bears the following inscription: Eni THN A6HNH2IN BOTAHN KAI EKKAH2IAN IIAPAKAAEOTSI TON AHMON 2INEIIIXOPH2AI TOTS E^*I2MENOIS ETBOAfll <1>IAAN©POIIOIS ANAITA^AI AE TOAE TO ^H^OISMA KAI EIS 2TEAHN AI0INHN KAI 2TH2A I EN AHMHTPIOS APXONTO2. The irregular method of spelling here noticed is not by any means an uncommon instance. "We must bear in mind that at the period to which this belongs, that is probably between the eighth and the thirteenth century, Greek was written and pronounced, as indeed it is in the present day, with regard to the accent a Brit.

  • De L'histoire Du Droit Français: Jacques Godefroy
    DE L’HISTOIRE DU DROIT FRANÇAIS: JACQUES GODEFROY Elena DAMIAN Abstract An important representative of the Godefroy family, a true dynasty of legal advisers and historians, Jacques Godefroy (Geneva, 1587-1652) spent almost his entire life in Geneva. In 1619 he was named professor of law at the University of Geneva, but he was better known and more appreciated for his numerous works than for his teaching activity. Among his works, the most famous and mostly used by jurists is the remarkable commentary on the Theodosian Code, Codex Theodosianus that appeared in Lyon, in 1665, in 3 volumes in-folio and was reedited in Leipzig in 1736-1745. A few copies of the valuable works of the French scholar can be found in Transylvania as well, and they are still kept even today in some prestigious libraries in Cluj-Napoca or Târgu-Mureş. Among the owners of these books there also were the well-known scholars Timotei Cipariu and Sámuel Teleki. Keywords: Jacques Godefroy, history of law, professor of law, legal adviser, Transylvania, library. La famille Godefroy, une véritable dynastie de jurisconsultes et d’historiens célèbres, compte parmi ses membres les plus importants Jacques Godefroy (Genève, 1587-1652) aussi. Jacques Godefroy, le fils de Denis Ier Godefroy1, a passé presque toute sa vie à Genève et il a gardé la religion de son célèbre père, étant un réformé convaincu. Il a commencé ses études avec son père, puis il a étudié le droit et l’histoire à Bourges et à Paris. Pour avoir obtenu de très bons résultats aux examens et pour avoir déjà publié quelques livres remarquables, Jacques Godefroy a obtenu une chaire de droit à l’Université de Genève, en 1619.
