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.
