«Tratado de república y policía cristiana para reyes y príncipes y para los que en el gobierno tienen sus veces» is the political treatise by Juan de Santa María.
Fray Juan de Santa María argues that the king should govern personally, advised by councillors, without delegating essential decisions to favorites or privados. The text, presented to Philip III at El Escorial, gained notoriety when the monarch dismissed the Duke of Lerma after reading it.
Published by UJA Editorial in paperback, with 510 pages and text in Spanish. Includes study and edition by Eduardo Fernández García.
For readers interested in political history, monarchical institutions and Spanish thought of the 16th and 17th centuries.
