En este tratado fray Juan de Santa MarÃa defiende la obligación ética y la conveniencia polÃtica de que el rey desempeñe la dirección del gobierno regio por sà mismo, apoyado en algunos consejeros, pero sin ceder las decisiones más relevantes a los privados. Entregado en mano el libro y debatido el contenido personalmente entre el autor y el monarca Felipe III en el veraneo escurialense, pocos dÃas después de haber concluido el rey su lectura procedió al cese del duque de Lerma como valido, por lo que el tratado adquirió enorme notoriedad y mereció varias ediciones y traducciones a otras lenguas. Fue considerado un modelo moralizado de polÃtica regia contrapuesto a los de otros reinos en un momento en que las exigencias de la confrontación continental empujaban hacia una acción absoluta de las monarquÃas.In this book, Friar Juan de Santa MarÃa defends the ethical duty and the political convenience of the king carrying out the management of the regal government by himself, relying on some advisers, but without relinquishing the most relevant decisions to his favourites. The book was handed directly to His Majesty and its contents were debated in person by the author and King Philip III during the monarch's summer vacation at El Escorial. A few days after finishing it, the king proceeded to dismiss the Duke of Lerma as his favourite, which granted the document enormous notoriety and several editions and translations to other languages. It was considered a moralized model of regal politics in opposition to those of other kingdoms in a period where the demands of a continental confrontation required undisputed action from the monarchies.
