Althusius' Literary SourcesReferred to in This Translation

Politica i-lxii.indd 47 1/11/12 10:08 PM Althusius' Literary Sources Referred to in This Translation Although Althusius' sources were entirely in Latin, this list whenever possible directs the reader not only to an English translation but also to editions in French and German. In addition, proper names for the most part have been supplied in an appropriate vernacular language. Many of the items of this list have been personally examined through the graciousness of a number of American libraries; the standard bibliographic catalogues and reference works have been consulted for others; and great care has been taken to make this list as accurate as possible. Nevertheless, the bibliographic confusion and occasional obscurity that surround some ofthese books make it all too probable that errors will be found. Moreover, it is difficult in certain instances to determine which of several editions of a book should be listed since Althusius never identified which edition he was using. This difficulty burdens the conscience all the more when it is realized that later editions ofthe same book in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were often successively supplemented and even given different internal organization , and that therefore a particular edition, unless personally examined to ascertain whether it answers to Althusius' citations ofit, may not be the right one for this list. Presumably a translator ofmaterials ofthis sort must learn to live with this burden of conscience if he is to avoid a lifetime oflabor dedicated largely to minutiae. This list contains all ofAlthusius' literary sources referred to in this translation. For a listing ofthe sources contained in the entire Latin work, see the index in Latin that Carl]. Friedrich provided for his 1932 edition ofthe Politica methodice digesta, an index to which this list is also indebted. xlvii Politica i-lxii.indd 48 1/11/12 10:08 PM xiviii Althusius' Literary Sources Referred to in This Translation Andrea Alciati (1492-1550).
