Dear Colleagues, It is with great joy that we welcome you as you convene in the hundreds from thirty-four countries and six continents to present papers on worldwide subjects in the disciplines of law, history, theology, philosophy and political science. We are happy and proud to bring together so many specialists and so amazing a richness and variety of research, and we thank you most warmly for coming sometimes from so far to share with us the result of your reflections. Around 1500, the year that marks the starting-point for our work, Europeans would have considered our event a consummate example of the sodalitates litterariæ, those large-scale, transnational communities of scholars that illustrated the humanistic ideal. ‘Monarchy & Modernity since 1500’: our conference title’s most important word is undoubtedly ‘&’. Formerly – before 1500 – in the West and elsewhere, monarchy was a political and theological obviousness. From the beginning of what historians call modern times, monarchy has come increasingly into question, even while it has itself become a reason for doubting modernity’s patent character. Across the centuries, Cambridge, the city where John Milton (Christ’s) and Robert Filmer (Trinity) were both students, has liberally fostered such common questioning. We are confident that it will once more be the site of original and stimulating reflections of the highest quality on this crucial subject. May your time here be the occasion of much learning and enjoyment as you exchange ideas with fellow scholars from all over the world. Yours sincerely, Carolina Armenteros and Philippe Barthelet Cambridge, 28 December 2018 1 CONTENT DIRECTIONS p. 3 MAPS p. 4 REGISTRATION AND DINNER p. 5 PANEL OVERVIEW p. 6 - 7 OVERVIEW SIDGWICK SITE p. 8 PANELS p. 9 - 42 LIST OF ATTENDEES p. 42-49 2 MAP & DIRECTIONS Venue: Faculty of Law, The David Williams Building, 10 West Rd, Cambridge CB3 9DZ Walking Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, St Andrew's St, Cambridge CB2 3AP Walk west on Downing St towards St Tibb's Row (0.1 mi) Continue onto Pembroke St (0.1 mi) Turn right onto 11/Trumpington St (190 ft) Turn left onto Silver St (0.2 mi) Turn right towards Queen's Rd/A1134 (26 ft) Turn left towards Queen's Rd/A1134 (495 ft) Turn right onto Queen's Rd/A1134 (420 ft) Turn left onto West Rd (0.1 mi) Sidney Sussex College, 44 Sidney St, Cambridge CB2 3HX Walk south-east on Sidney St towards Green St (39 ft) Turn right onto Green St (459 ft) Turn left onto Trinity St (82 ft) Turn right onto Trinity Ln (404 ft) Turn left to stay on Trinity Ln (128 ft) Turn right onto Garret Hostel Ln (0.2 mi) Turn left towards West Rd (0.2 mi) Turn right towards West Rd (56 ft) Turn left towards West Rd (102 ft) Turn right onto West Rd (0.1 mi) Selwyn College, University of Cambridge, Grange Rd, Cambridge CB3 9DQ Walk west towards Grange Rd (79 ft) Turn left onto Grange Rd (213 ft) Turn left onto Sidgwick Ave (0.1 mi) Turn left towards West Rd (410 ft) Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, Barton Rd, Cambridge CB3 9BB Turn right towards Barton Rd/A603 (36 ft) Turn left onto Barton Rd/A603 (0.2 mi) Turn left onto Grange Rd (0.2 mi) Turn right onto Sidgwick Ave (0.1 mi) Turn left towards West Rd (410 ft) 3 MAPS 4 REGISTRATION Early Arrivals 07.01.19 5:00-6:45 pm: Early registration, Faculty of Law Regular Registration 08.01.19 8:15-9:30 am: Faculty of Law 09.01.19 8:30-10:00 am: Faculty of Law DINNER Early Arrivals 07.01.19 7:00 pm Jamie’s Italian The Old Library, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge CB2 3QJ Conference Reception and Formal Hall 08.01.19 7:00 for 7:30 pm Bar/Conservatory Area, Queens’ College, 8 Silver St, Cambridge CB3 9ET (report at Porters’ Lodge) 5 PANEL OVERVIEW* 08.01.19 Room 8:45- 10:00- 11:30- 12:00- 13:30- 14:30- 16:00- 16:30- 9:50 11:20 12:00 13:20 14:30 15:50 16:30 18:30 MML P2 Coffee Break P3 Lunch P4 Coffee Break 331 MML P5 P6 P7 332 LMH P1 P8 P9 P10 *P46 G24 P11 P12 P13 *P47 G26 P14 P15 P16 *P48 G28 P17 P18 P19 *P49 B16 P20 P21 P22 *P50 Hist 5 P23 P24 P25 *P51 Hist 6 P26 P27 P28 *P52 Hist 9 P29 P30 P31 Hist 10 P32 P33 P34 Hist 11 P35 P36 P37 Hist 12 P38 P39 P40 MML P41 P42 P43 142 MML P44 P45 327 7:00 for 7:30 p.m. Reception and Formal Hall at Queens’ College 6 PANEL OVERVIEW* 09.01.19 Room 9:00- 10:00- 11:30- 12:00- 13:30- 14:30- 16:00- 16:30- 9:50 11:20 12:00 13:20 14:30 15:50 16:30 18:30 MML P54 Coffee Break P55 Lunch P56 Coffee 331 Break MML P57 P58 P59 332 LMH P53 P60 P61 P62 P93, P94 G24 P63 P64 P65 G26 P66 P67 P68 G28 P69 P70 P71 Hist 5 P72 P73 P74 Hist 6 P75 P76 P77 Hist 9 P78 P79 P80 Hist P81 P82 P83 10 Hist P84 P85 P86 11 Hist P87 P88 P89 12 MML P90 P91 P92 142 7 OVERVIEW SIDGWICK SITE *NB: LMH is the Lady MItchell Hall; MML331, MML332, and B16 are rooms on the ground floor of the Faculty of Law; G24, G26 G28 are rooms on the ground floor of the Faculty of Law; Hist5 and Hist 6 are rooms on the 2nd floor of the Faculty of History; Hist 9, Hist 10, Hist 11, Hist 12 are rooms on the 3rd floor of the Faculty of History; MML 142 is a room on the 1st floor of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages (Raised Faculty Building); MML 327, MML 331, MML 332 are rooms on the 3rd floor of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages (Raised Faculty Building). 8 PANELS P1 DATE TIME ROOM Words of welcome and opening keynote lecture 08.01 8:45- LMH ● Richard Rex (Queens’ College, Cambridge), 9:50 Welcoming address ● John Dunn (King’s College, Cambridge), ‘The King’s Three Bodies: Person, State and Public Opinion’ ● Chair: Robert Lacey (Independent Scholar) P2 DATE TIME ROOM ‘Monarchy in Renaissance Italian Political Thought’ 08.01 10:00- MML331 ● Jean-Marc Rivière (University of Aix-Marseille), 11:20 ‘The French and Spanish Monarchies in the Embassy Writings of Machiavelli and Guicciardini’ ● Lucinda Byatt (University of Edinburgh), ‘Monarchy in Florentine Political Thought: Niccolò Machiavelli and Donato Giannotti’ ● Darcy Kern (Southern Connecticut State University), ‘Paolo Sarpi’s Republicanism in the Kingdoms of England and France’ ● Chair: Frédérique Dubard de Gaillarbois (Sorbonne- Université) P3 DATE TIME ROOM ‘Monarchy and the Construction of Regional and National Identity’ 08.01 12:00- MML331 ● Jonathan W.
