Bibliographical Note The material on the Conciliar Movement in English, and suit- able for undergraduate use, is limited. Chapter X of Dunning Political Theories, Ancient and Medieval gives a clear and straight- forward account of it. Lecture II in J. N. Figgis From Gerson to Grotius is at once profound and provocative. The whole work, indeed, is of first-rate value for a study of the subject matter of this and the succeeding chapters. It is, however, brief, and is an inter- pretation addressed to scholars rather than a simple analysis of in- dividual thinkers or a strictly chronological account. Perhaps the best introduction for the student is E. F. Jacob's essay on Nicholas of Cusa in F. J. C. Hearnshaw The Social and Political Ideas of Some Great Thinkers of The Renaissance and the Reformation. -271- |
