Juan de Mariana, Pierre Cotton, anti-Jesuitism, regicideAbstract
This paper examines some French political pamphlets issued between 1610 and 1611 linked to the regicides of Henry III and Henry IV of France in order to shed light upon the controversies surrounding Juan de Mariana’s De Rege et Regis institutione and the apology of Pierre Cotton. This important debate also involved other scholars, whose sources have not been considered carefully to date. Our secondary aim is to address anti-Jesuitism and its political and textual dimension in the first decade of the seventeenth century.
