商品簡介
The 17 articles, reproduced from publication in journals and anthologies between 1960 and 1985 parallel Geisey's early and late interest in royal ceremony, and his intervening interest in the civil-religious wars in France focusing on the Huguenot cause and the jurist and polemist Francois Hotman. The topics include the French estates and the Corpus Mysticum Regni, when and why Hotman wrote the Francogallia, Medieval jurisprudent in Bodin's concept of sovereignty, rules of inheritance and strategies of mobility in pre-revolutionary France, from monarchomachs to dynastic officialdom, the king imagined, royal ceremonial and the advent of absolutism, and the two bodies of the French king.
