Knowledge and Counsel in Giovanni Botero’s Ragion di stato
This article examines the relationship between knowledge, political counsel, and reason of state in Giovanni Botero (1544–1617). Botero is primarily known as the champion of Catholic reason of state, mainly on account of his treatise Ragion di stato . I argue that Botero marks a watershed in the history of European political thought not because of his response to Machiavelli, but on account of his conscious and innovative integration of different…

The Transatlantic Hispanic Baroque
"Gathering together a group of internationally renowned scholars this volume presents cutting-edge research on the complex processes of identity formation in the transatlantic world of the Hispanic Baroque. Identities in the Hispanic world are deeply intertwined with sociological concepts such as class and estate, with geographical-religious elements (i.e. the mixing of Spanish Catholics with converted Jews, Muslims, Dutch and German Protestants)…
Stefania Tutino. Shadows of Doubt
In Shadows of Doubt: Language and Truth in Post-Reformation Catholic Culture, Stefania Tutino presents readers with an exceptionally incisive, sophisticated, and readable exposition of hitherto neglected aspects of early modern Catholic culture. In a nutshell, she finds truth in doubt. Tutino acknowledges the tension between language and reality as “a fundamental and constitutive element of our current intellectual horizon” (3) and makes it the f…

(Un)masking the Realities of Power
If Justus Lipsius’s Politica of 1589 and its importance to the history of political thought needs no introduction, Lipsius's Monita et exempla politica (1605), conceived as a sequel to the Politica, has been overlooked time and again despite the fact that it is a unique key to understand the precise character of Lipsius's political thought. For, is his widely read political dialogue a Neostoic discourse or is it Tacitean, Machiavellian, or even a…
(Un)masking the realities of power
The Bible, reason of state, and the royal conscience
The Spanish theologian Juan Márquez OSA (1565–1621) explores new ways of instructing the conscience of prince and counsellor. Fray Juan wrote his treatise El governador christiano (1612) as a defence of Catholic moral theology. He seeks to verify its ability to adapt to the demands of realpolitik as well as the reading habits of a lay audience by providing courtier‐politicians with pragmatic counsel drawn from biblical narrative presented in the …
