Overview"""And to the end that men should not Sacrifice to their own industry; the Earth yields no increase without the dew of Heaven..."" -Stephen Junius Brutus, A Defence of Liberty Against Tyrants (1579) A Defence of Liberty Against Tyrants or Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos by Stephen Junius Brutus was originally published in 1579 in French and Latin and later translated into English in 1698. This edition is a replica of the modernized 1923 edition and contains four basic questions related to royalty, asserting that people have a right to resist against a monarchy under certain conditions. The ideals in this book were the foundation for the writing of John Locke and America's Founding Fathers. Written during the Protestant Reformation, this is a primary source that would help any scholar or student of history more thoroughly understand the time period."

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationSTEPHEN JUNIUS BRUTUS is a pseudonym most likely used by two authors who collaborated on the writing of Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos (1579): Hubert Languet (1518-1581), a French diplomat, and Philippe de Mornay (1549-1623), an anti-monarchist. Both were Huguenots who heavily influenced French Protestantism. In 1931 a Dutch historian, Gerardina Tjaberta van Ysselsteyn, made the assertion that the two authored the text.
