Examining the general situation of the warring factions, Bodin expresses himself frankly. He knew how to judge one of the most complex moments in French history clearly and without partisanship. By analyzing how he reaches his opinions, we can better understand his ideas.

Jean Bodin

They absolutely cannot agree by speaking together. Outside of the kingdom, they were even more powerful and counted in their alliance: Unfortunately he received bad advice from those who today carry arms and who belong to the opposing party. As far as the right of succession, according to his calculations, forecasts, the study of numbers, and degrees of relationship to the thirteenth degree for the Cardinal of Bourbon, Charles, brother of Antoine of Bourbon—King of Navarre, father of Henry—and to the fourteenth degree for the present King of Navarre, Henry Bodin had no doubt that the Cardinal of Bourbon had a better claim than the King of Navarre.

First he writes that the King of Navarre should be reconciled with the Catholic Church, which Navarre had already announced. Second, he should give the throne to his uncle, Charles de Bourbon, which given that Charles was sixty-seven at the time and died in May , would have been a temporary arrangement. Henry did not do this. Third, he should have sought an agreement between the Lorraines or the Guises and the other Catholic princes. Navarre does this before and after he is crowned Henry IV.

Here we see a relatively little-known side to Bodin which nevertheless is consistent with the principles he had outlined in his Six Books of the Commonwealth. His advice is perceptive and objective; however, historians have glossed over this fact in order to depict Bodin as a man who should have been ashamed of joining the Holy Union. Yet Bodin was secure in his judgment, when he wrote Lettre Bodin:. The victory of the Union would assure religious concord and the re-establishment of the institutions of the kingdom. This judicial measure was intended to restore the social and political cohesion of the realm in the short term.

In the long term it was aimed at religious reunification in the one sole faith—that of the king. This was the authoritative judgment of Pierre de Beloy, the sole contemporary jurist and commentator of the Edict. He died of the plague between June and September , after having declared in his testament that he wished to be buried in the church of the Franciscans of Laon. In his last years, Bodin occupied himself with two projects. The first, Colloquium of the Seven about Secrets of the Sublime , concerned the essence of religion.

The work would be published long after his death Heptaplomeres , The other, Theater of Universal Nature Theatrum , , dealt with natural philosophy. He had just enough time to add a dedicatory letter to Jacques Mitte, Count of Miolins on March 1, When he began his research, Bodin was drawn to analysis and systematics as methods for organizing knowledge. According to Bodin, it is through analysis that one is able to divide universals into parts, and to divide each part into subsections without losing the coherence of the whole.

Therefore synthesis, he states, is no longer necessary because the individual episodes of nearly all historical accounts are already well adapted to each other , and the best historians have carefully reconstructed these partial and regional accounts into the tableau of universal history. Bodin writes Methodus [Me] Bodin ascribes a unique role to political knowledge, thereby distinguishing his writings from many similar treatments of the ars historica which were published at the end of the fifteenth century.

Although he does not cite Bauduin, Bodin was indebted to this French author who was the first to describe in a scientific manner the multiple connections between law and universal history. The chapter headings include:. For Bodin, methodologies were visual representations of systems of knowledge. If history is divided into divine history, natural history, and human history, then law can be divided into natural law, human law, the laws of nations, public law, and civil law. From there, Bodin briefly describes and defines legal matters including: The work is also illustrated with a number of schematic tables.

During his youth, Bodin received a Catholic education and he remained loyal to the Church until his death. Demonstrating his religious convictions, in a testament from June 7, , he requested to be buried in a Catholic Church. Nevertheless, during his middle years, he was critical of the church hierarchy and occasionally expressed antipapal sentiments.

On the basis of this evidence, his biographers have quickly labeled him a Protestant. Bodin possessed an expansive view of religion and a sincere belief in an all-powerful God.

In this letter Bodin refrained from all commentary on the doctrine of the sacraments and dogma. Instead he considered the religion of Christ, to which he himself belonged mea vel potius Christi religio , as accessible to all men of good will. The Heptaplomeres , written around , appeared posthumously Kiel, Here the author gives us evidence of his religious beliefs presuming, for the moment, that Bodin was, in fact, the author.

The seven speakers in the work represent as many different religions, confessions, and philosophical schools of thought: On the other hand, the speakers differ on the freedom of worship. But beginning with Leibniz, the Heptaplomeres has not ceased to attract the attention of scholars on account of its outstanding erudition and the depth of the questions it addresses. His antipapal sentiments, interspersed throughout his writings, have provided historians with evidence to label Bodin a Protestant. Some would later return to traditional Christianity. The books are titled:. Sovereignty, he contends, has an impact upon both the internal affairs of the State such as in its exercise of full political power as well as its external affairs such as in its conduct of war and international relations.

Bodin paid particular attention to differentiating between the forms of State and the forms of government. For instance he defined a monarchy as the rule of one; aristocracy as the rule of a few; and democracy as the rule by all people. Yet monarchies might still be democracies according to Bodin, if the prince allows all of the people to have access to magistracies and State offices without regard for nobility, wealth, or virtue. Otherwise, a monarchy can be a form of aristocracy if the prince bestows State responsibilities only to the most noble, the richest, or the most virtuous.

The same observations hold true for aristocratic and popular regimes. The distinctions between the forms of State and the forms of government are essential for understanding the differences between royal monarchies, despotic monarchies, and tyrannical monarchies. The last two are easily confused. The difference between despotism and tyranny is crucial.

Despotism is legitimate and sometimes legal. Tyranny, on the other hand, is always illegitimate, illegal, and contrary to natural and divine laws. Therefore Bodin demonstrates that he is in process of constructing his theory of sovereignty not that of despotism. The same can be observed concerning absolute monarchies. Nevertheless a sovereign is always bound to natural and divine law.

Sovereignty, according to Bodin, is as supreme as one wishes, but is also limited by natural and divine law. The Kings of France were glorious because their sovereignty was limited by divine and natural law cf. Methodus , [Me] — This is a tendency that continues even today.

In so doing, some historians have ascribed a doctrine to Bodin that was foreign to him. Instead Bodin systematized and defined a theory of sovereignty. But this problem of historical interpretation depends on the methodology and on the synchronic and diachronic perspective: Nothing should stop the historian from making such comparisons as long as it is not his or her sole method of analysis.

As all historians understand, in order to fully and accurately understand an author, it is necessary to place his work squarely within the context and debates of his historical period.

Therefore one should judge and interpret Bodin based on the works, sources, and documents current in his century rather than on those that would appear in the future. In other words, the value of money had remained proportional to the amount of gold and silver it contained. For example, concerning inflation, Malestroict posited that although the price of land and property may have increased since the reign of St. Louis IX, inflation was not the culprit. Instead he believed that it was the decreasing amount of gold and silver which the money contained that caused prices to rise.

Malestroict was convinced, following the opinions of the time, that gold and silver were representative values that were not influenced by the fluctuations of world markets. Also, while the price of various items might increase, the items were worth a constant amount of gold or silver which did not fluctuate. Bodin refuted this argument and concentrated on the question of the abundance of gold and silver which he considered the principal and singular cause for the high prices of his era.

In this matter he added two other secondary causes for high prices: According to Bodin, war was another cause of rising prices: Bodin posited that the solution to this lay in ending conflicts, since then the parties could occupy themselves with trade amongst themselves rather than waging war. For Bodin, the price of gold and silver should be set by the laws of the market, in other words by supply and demand. Hoping to advance these new ideas, Bodin was worried for people overwhelmed by inflation. His treatment of demonism is written as an antidote to the outbreak of sorcery. The work is divided into four books.

The first introduces the reader to his basic ideas: The second book initiates the reader to magic in general and to silent and spoken invocations of evil spirits. Then he comes to the most debated questions, are those who renounce God bodily possessed by demons? Can one change humans into animals? Can sorcerers cause illness, sterility, hail, storms, the death of men and animals?

Book III proposes licit remedies against charms and incantations, and considers whether it is true that sorcerers have the power to heal. Here Bodin also addresses whether sorcerers have the ability to influence the finding of favor with the powerful, beauty, honors, riches, knowledge, and fertility. He discusses illicit means to prevent and heal evil spells, and the method for driving out evil spirits.

The fourth book concludes the work by tackling the issues of magical practice and most importantly, the inquisition of sorcerers. He examines the methods for proceeding against them, the proof required, and the penalties to be inflicted.

In most cases Bodin recommends the death penalty by burning. In the last years of his life Bodin dedicated himself ambitiously to his work, with which he hoped to penetrate the secrets of the universe. His Theater of Universal Nature Theatrum is a treatment of the science of nature, or natural philosophy. The first book examines the principals of nature and the origin and decline of the world.

The second book addresses the natural elements of meteors, of rocks, metals and fossils. The third books explores types of animals; the fourth addresses the spirit, and the fifth book concerns the number, movement, and grandeur of the heavens respectively. This is an example of those works of natural philosophy, which wished to be exhaustive, and were typical of the Renaissance. Biographies have attributed religious, political, and philosophical doctrines to Bodin that he may have held. Unfortunately these historians have not sought sources on which to base this claim.

In fact, there are no sources that support this argument. The struggle of the Huguenots from the beginning of the civil wars, was to convert the king and realm to the true religion. Tolerance was not an ideal since one cannot tolerate what one cannot possibly accept. For example how could one allow Christ to coexist with Belial, or a false religion to coexist with the one and only true religion?

No further proof of this conviction is needed than the fierce struggle both Calvin and Beza waged against Castellion. This example causes one to ask the question: At the beginning of the wars of religion, they wanted to obtain the recognition of the reformed religion as the sole religion in the realm.

Yet, after thirty-six years of war, and after the conversion of Henry of Navarre, they understood that their project was too ambitious and had to be limited. Only through true religious tolerance could they convert the remainder of the kingdom at a later time. The unity of faith, and Calvinist religious concord were the ideal of Reformers too. For instance they were accused of having no religion because they were inclined to admit the definitive coexistence of different forms of worship in the interest of civil peace.

Thus these scholars believed they had done a great service to the men of the past by presenting them as forerunners of the later values. But, as we have seen, Bodin viewed confessional concord as the means capable of returning religious, civil and political unity to the kingdom. Gaston Paris, dans Romania , 18, , p.
