The Defender of the Peace of Marsilius of Padua is a massively
influential text in the history of western political thought.
Marsilius offers a detailed analysis and explanation of human
political communities, before going on to attack what he sees as
the obstacles to peaceful human coexistence - principally the
contemporary papacy. Annabel Brett's authoritative rendition of the
Defensor Pacis was the first new translation in English for fifty
years, and a major contribution to the series of Cambridge Texts:
all of the usual series features are provided, included chronology,
notes for further reading, and up-to-date annotation aimed at the
student reader encountering this classic of medieval thought for
the first time. This edition of The Defender of the Peace is a
scholarly and a pedagogic event of great importance, of interest to
historians, political theorists, theologians and philosophers at
all levels from second-year undergraduate upwards.
