Resumen de Michel de L’Hospital: Between Scientia Juris and Ars Politica

Maria Natale

• Michel de L'Hospital's reformative action developed in the sixties of the sixteenth century. After the death of Henry II, the unlucky dynastic succession and the religious strife between Protestants and Catholics divided the Country and threatened the unity of the French “mystical body”. New strategies were necessary to overcome legal, political and religious problems. Michel de L'Hospital, a jurist aware of French modern values, became one of the most courageous interpreter of a new cultural and political trend.
