Republika versus monarchia. Myśl polityczna i prawna Andrzeja Maksymiliana Fredry, Marek Tracz-Tryniecki

The first monograph in the field that presents the political and legal thought of one of the most significant political writers of the seventeenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in a comprehensive manner. The work analyzes the fundamental categories of Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro’s thought through the prism of the institutional and doctrinal confrontation between the republic and the monarchy, also illustrating how this conflict influenced the economy, military issues, and demands for effective governance. The author has extensively utilized Fredro’s writings, offering an original perspective on the subject.

"Marek Tracz-Tryniecki’s dissertation is the most comprehensive, the most carefully systematized, and the best-documented presentation of seventeenth-century Polish political and legal doctrine in the field. Without a doubt, it marks a long-awaited breakthrough in the study of native political thought from this period."

"Marek Tracz-Tryniecki’s monograph is an important publishing event. The text offers a highly competent analysis of a doctrine previously almost unknown in Polish scholarship. The reflections contained in the book are the result of the Author’s extremely precise research into the political writings of Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro. They fill a gap in the historical and doctrinal literature concerning an important seventeenth-century thinker, who was not only an active politician but also a figure capable of formulating abstract ideas. The book deserves the highest praise both for its scholarly value and for its cognitive significance to the entire community of historians."
