Jean Boden in the War of Pamphlets in England in the Middle of the 17th Century

Scholars of English political thought notice Jean Bodin’s theory of sovereignty inspired English pre-revolutionary and revolutionary philosophers. One could find massive references to all principal Bodin’s works. I focus on the direct citations of Les Six livres de la République. Public valued The Six Books of the Republic during the 17th century in different ways: obvious peaks of citations one could between 1640 and 1650. Both warring parties referred to Bodin. Works of Bodin became source of vivid examples in the revolutionary situations when political thinkers had to write and publish pamphlets urgently. Most likely, the third part of authors mentioned Bodin did not read his texts and know him indirectly. Thus, Bodin’s thought had been distorted.
