The lifetime of Francois Hotman (1524-1590) was one of the most
tumultuous periods in European history. Donald R. Kelley shows how
this protege of Calvin and agent of many of the great Protestant
princes became involved in ecclesiastical politics, Huguenot
diplomacy, and conspiracy. One of the first modern revolutionaries,
Hotman rebelled not only against his family and its faith, but
against the laws and eventually the government of his country. As
an embittered exile lie produced a voluminous body of propaganda
aimed at recovering a lost political and religious innocence on
which to found a new community. At the same time he was one of the
greatest and most versatile scholars of his age, achieving
distinction as a jurist, teacher, classical scholar, dialectician,
theologian, and historian. His Franco-Giallia and Anti-Tribonian
have fascinated generations of political theorists, and his
letters, reports, and anonymous works are of inestimable value to
historians. Originally published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
