Reviews

[Noah Torres · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely stellar book that is a great resource for understanding the Serenissma’s contributions to political thought, ecclesiology, and larger conflicts between conscience and law and Church and State. Not a light read by any means, but could serve well as foundations for student of early modern political theory who is interested in relevant topics.
