Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The words cheap government do not actually mean cheap government, but rather cheap spending and sound currency. These men and their associates, though they undoubtedly knew less than everything, were not so ignorant to have believed literally what the words seem to indicate.

#2 In the third book, Dante considers the issue of the relations between Church and State. He argues that whatever is repugnant to the intention of nature is contrary to the will of God. The truth has been obscured by a factious spirit and a failure to recognize the primary authority of the Bible, the decrees of the councils, and the writings of the Fathers.

#3 The formal meaning of De Monarchia is worthless. The real meaning, however, is not. It is the meaning not in terms of the mythical world of religion, metaphysics, miracles, and pseudo-history, but in terms of the actual world of space, time, and events.
