Mario Turchetti et la République bilingue de Jean Bodin
Posthumous reflections on Mario Turchetti's work as editor of Bodin's bilingual République (1576, 1586)
Climate after the Middle Ages: A Look at Later Developments
In this article, I explore the influence of medieval “climate theories” upon later thinkers, highlighting three thematic areas where this continuity was particularly strong: the problem of method; the management of disagreement; and the question of freedom. In each of these areas, Renaissance theorists built upon the work of their Scholastic predecessors (primarily Albert the Great and Roger Bacon) to discuss how human beings owed their character…

L ydia B arnett . After the Flood: Imagining the Global Environment in Early Modern Europe
After the Flood offers a rich and thought-provoking analysis of how the biblical account of a Universal Deluge became “a popular though controversial topic of long-distance intellectual exchange from the late sixteenth through the early eighteenth century” (7). Its five chapters take us on an exciting ride from Padua to Peru, from England to Switzerland, and back to Padua again, reconstructing the social and intellectual networks that debated Noa…
Sovereignty, Territory, and Population in Jean Bodin's République
This article offers a re-interpretation of Jean Bodin's Six livres de la République (1576), a work that deeply transformed European political discourse at the time of the French Wars of Religion and that had important repercussions on the later 'reason of state' tradition. Highlighting the ties between Bodin's definition of sovereignty in Book 1 and his discussion of demographic growth and territorial expansion in Books 4, 5, and 6, the article s…

The Censor as Reader: Censorial Responses to Bodin's Methodus in Counter-Reformation Italy (1587–1607)
This essay investigates censorial responses to Jean Bodin's Methodus (1566) in Counter-Reformation Italy, using evidence from Italian libraries and archives to shed new light on the process that led to the inclusion of the work in the Roman Expurgatory Index of 1607. By examining the diverse, and sometimes conflicting, opinions that Catholic censors expressed on Bodin's text and the ‘errors’ it contained, the essay shows that even a relatively co…
Meaning in a Changing Context: Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach to Authorial Revision
In this article, I seek to develop a genetic/diachronic approach to the phenomenon of authorial revision, and to the interpretation of texts that exist in multiple versions. In all such cases, the reconstruction of textual meaning cannot be separated from the reconstruction of the process through which the text in its ‘final’ form came into being; furthermore, an understanding of the author's intentions in (re)writing cannot be entirely separated…
