During the revolt of the Netherlands, 'rebels' developed for the
first time in modern history political philosophies that had a
decisive impact on political reality, influenced the actual course
of events, led in fact to the creation of a new state. This was a
form of theorizing from sheer necessity to the legitimate
sovereign. As such it stands at the beginning of a long tradition
of civil disobedience. The volume contains sixty-seven fragments of
pamphlets, letters, treaties and other documents, translated from
the Dutch, Latin and French, that together provide an insight into
the motives of the 'rebels' and into discussions about the legality
of the Revolt. Through detailed annotation and an editorial
introduction, Professor Kossman and Dr Mellink gather together the
threads of the complicated story and analyse some of the major
theoretical problems discussed by sixteenth-century Netherlands,
and sixteenth-century Europe in general and to all those interested
in the history and development of political theory.
