| description | Juan de Mariana’s De rege and regis institutione, first published in 1599, is frequently described as a daring or scandalous treaty, and this opinion is generally connected with the treatment of tyrannicide in the first part of the book and especially in chapter VI, a famous chapter in which Mariana gives an account of French king Henry III’s death.This work aims to compare Mariana’s ideas on this subject with earlier treatises’ approach of resistance to the tyrant, in order to determine their degree of innovation. We shall endeavour to show that although De rege is in keeping with a tradition and belongs to a period when a certain number of treatises were written about tyranny and resistance, Mariana’s thought stands out against his contemporaries’ in Spain. Nevertheless his radical defense of tyrannicide does not seem to be as subversive as it has been said. Other subjects in De rege are more likely to give this treatise a special meaning in the new orientation of Spanish political literature. |
