Beskrivning
The De Europae dissidiis et republica (On Conflicts in Europe and on the Commonwealth) is a collection published by Vives in 1526 that has been called his “summa politica.” It contains five letters, to Henry VIII and three prelates including Cardinal Wolsey; a Lucian-style underworld satire on European wars and the Turkish threat; and Latinizations of two political speeches by Isocrates.It counsels the pursuit of peace following Christian principles, but it also explores the possibility of an aggressive war against the Turks as the means of unifying and saving European Christendom. It urges the calling of a council to deal with Luther. We present critical Latin texts and, for the first time, English translations, with introduction and notes.

Recensioner i media

"The eight pieces merge into a credo of Renaissance pacifism, until now accessible only to specialists [...] The translations, no matter how well done, are subordinate to the Latin, and the Latin is what Vives’s first admirers admired [...] The English translation raises the curtain; the Latin texts carry the day. The Selected Works of J. L. Vives can welcome this volume proudly."Willis Goth Regier, University of Illinois, in Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme 43.2 (Spring 2020), pp 414-416.
