Giles's theory that all government must be legitimized by the pope was based on scriptural, philosophical, patristic, and canonical sources, and his conclusion that the pope is the rightful ruler and final judge of the world--even in secular matters--is the definitive statement on papal power in the Middle Ages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers a new and complete critical edition of the Latin text, based on a collation of five fourteenth-century manuscripts. It is accompanied by a literal English translation and a detailed introduction analyzing the context and content of the treatise. The book takes into account the hitherto unconsidered Cremona manuscript of \u003ci\u003eOn Ecclesiastical Power\u003c\/i\u003e and will be indispensable to scholars and students of the history of political thought and international relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3034334\"\u003eR.
