Typology of Multiple Polities in the Antiquarian Discourse

In the Antiquarian discourse of the early 17th century two descriptive models and correlating contexts were used for describing structural complexity of states and polities. Nearly every polity described by antiquaries was represented as structurally complex, or, in K. Russel’s expression, “multiple”. The first model which can be characterized as “hierarchical”, directly corresponded to the traditional order of precedence of feudal titles and dignities and had explicit outward focus. This model reflected the necessity to reflect on corresponding status of existing monarchies of Christian oikumene and allowed to set out universal criteria which allowed to identify the status of a monarchy. The inward focus was characteristic of the second descriptive model. It allowed to demonstrate internal integrity of local communities, which used to be a part of larger polities during their history.
