Bartolus of Sassoferrato (c. 1313-1357) is one of the greatest jurists of the Middle Ages. Author of a vast work, he wrote at the end of his life a set of three treaties, translated here for the first time in French, which all have as a common theme to consider the exercise of power in its practical as well as theoretical and legal dimensions. He thus dedicates his treatise on the Guelphs and Ghibellines to the question of political conflict and factional struggles in the Italian communal world; he scrutinizes forms of government and political regimes in the Treaty on the Government of the City, as an extension of the reflections of Aristotle or Gilles of Rome; with his treatise on the tyrant, he gives one of the main treatises that the Middle Ages has left us on tyrannical phenomenon.
English Summary: Bartole de Sassoferrato (circa 1313-1357) is one of the greatest jurists of the Middle Ages. Author of a vast work, he wrote at the end of his life a set of three treaties, translated here for the first time in French, which all have as a common theme to consider the exercise of power in its practical as well as theoretical and legal dimensions. He thus dedicates his treatise on the Guelphs and Ghibellines to the question of political conflict and factional struggles in the Italian communal world; he scrutinizes forms of government and political regimes in the Treaty on the Government of the City, as an extension of the reflections of Aristotle or Gilles of Rome; with his treatise on the tyrant, he gives one of the main treatises that the Middle Ages has left us on tyrannical phenomenon. If the topics are varied, they are nevertheless traversed by a common obsession that haunts the rest of philosophers, jurists and theologians since antiquity, that of tyranny, in which all power is likely to tip over. Acute observer as an actor in public life, here Bartolus dissects the forms and conditions of this degeneration and carries an incisive look at the political changes affecting Italian society in the fourteenth century. French Description: Bartole de Sassoferrato (env. 1313-1357) est l’un des plus grands juristes du Moyen Age. Auteur d’une oeuvre immense, lue et commentee de son temps comme a l’epoque moderne, il redigea a la fin de sa vie un ensemble de trois traites, traduits ici pour la premiere fois en francais, qui ont comme point commun d’envisager l’exercice du pouvoir dans sa dimension pratique aussi bien que theorique et juridique. Il consacre ainsi son Traite sur les guelfes et les gibelins a la question de la conflictualite politique et des luttes de factions dans le monde communal italien ; il passe au crible les formes de gouvernement et les regimes politiques dans le Traite sur le gouvernement de la cite, dans le prolongement des reflexions d’Aristote ou de Gilles de Rome ; avec son Traite sur le tyran, il livre l’un des principaux traites que le Moyen Age nous a legue sur le phenomene tyrannique. Si les themes abordes sont varies, ils sont neanmoins traverses par une obsession commune, qui hante du reste philosophes, juristes et theologiens depuis l’Antiquite : celle de la tyrannie, dans laquelle tout pouvoir est susceptible de basculer. Observateur aigu autant qu’acteur de la vie publique, Bartole decortique ici les formes et les conditions de cette degenerescence et porte un regard incisif sur les transformations politiques qui affectent la societe italienne au XIVe siecle.
