About this book

In his New Latin novel, Methodus Doctrinae Civilis (1628), Adam Contzen (1571–1635), Jesuit and confessor to Prince Maximilian I of Bavaria, presents his political theory in the form of a vita of fictive Ethiopian king Abissinus. This volume presents the first bilingual, annotated edition of Methodus. The introduction contextualizes Contzen’s novel from the perspective of intellectual and literary history.
