John of Salisbury (c. 1115-1180) was the foremost political
theorist of his age. He was trained in scholastic theology and
philosophy at Paris, and his writings are invaluable for
summarizing many of the metaphysical speculations of his time. The
Policraticus is his main work, and is regarded as the first
complete work of political theory to be written in the Latin Middle
Ages. Cary Nederman's new edition and translation, currently the
only version available in English, is primarily aimed at
undergraduate students of the history of political thought and
medieval history. His new translation shows how important this text
is in understanding the mores, forms of conduct and beliefs of the
most powerful and learned segments of twelfth century Western
Europe.
