John Neville Figgis (1866-1919) was a historian, political theorist
and monk, his writings extensively influenced the history of ideas
and prefigured the theological developments of the 1920s. First
published in 1916, this second edition of a 1907 original provides
six chapters on various aspects of political thought from between
1414 and 1625, together with one introductory chapter and extensive
notes. It was derived from a The Birkbeck Lectures for 1900, which
were delivered by Figgis at Trinity College, Cambridge. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Medieval history,
Renaissance history, and the history of ideas in general.
A series of lectures on the political aspects of St. Augustine's
"City of God" by John Neville Figgis. Excerpts: ...There are those
who are for treating S. Augustine as the typical example of the
medieval temperament with its heights and depths, its glories and
splendors of imagination, its dialectical ingenuity and its
irrational superstitions. Others see in S. Augustine essentially a
man of the antique world. They do not deny to him real influence
upon later times. Who can? But they are inclined to minimize this;
at least in matters of social and political importance.
