The King's Two Bodies: A Study in Medieval Political TheologyPrinceton University Press, 10/05/2016 - 632 páginas Originally published in 1957, this classic work has guided generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology.

Long live the king.” In The King’s Two Bodies, Ernst Kantorowicz traces the historical dilemma posed by the “King’s two bodies”—the body natural and the body politic—back to the Middle Ages. |
