How was power justified in late medieval Europe? What
justifications did people find convincing, and why? Based around
the two key intellectual movements of the fifteenth century,
conciliarism in the church and humanism, this study explores the
justifications for the distribution of power and authority in
fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Europe. By examining the
arguments that convinced people in this period, Joseph Canning
demonstrates that it was almost universally assumed that power had
to be justified but that there were fundamentally different kinds
of justification employed. Against the background of juristic
thought, Canning presents a new interpretative approach to the
justifications of power through the lenses of conciliarism,
humanism and law, throwing fresh light on our understanding of both
conciliarists' ideas and the contribution of Italian Renaissance
humanists.
