Abstract

Modern scholars of the Renaissance regard Jean Bodin's 'Six Books of TheRepublic' (Paris 1576) as the locus classicus of the emergence of the idea of the State as an autonomous and sovereign (legislative) entity. As the prodigious scholarship in these two volumes demonstrates, Bodin's conception of the State as a sovereign legislative entity was inspired by the Aristotelian conception of law advanced by Bodin's forgotten contemporary, the French jurist, Joannes Corasius (1515-1572).
