Marsiglio of Padua (or Marsilius of Padua) (
c.1275–1342), scholar. He studied at Padua and then went to Paris. He completed his main work, the
Defensor Pacis, in 1324. When its authorship became known in 1326, he fled to the excommunicated Emp. Louis of Bavaria. In 1327
John XXII condemned five propositions from the book and excommunicated its author.
According to the
Defensor Pacis, the State is the unifying power of society; it derives its authority from the people, who retain the right to censure and depose the Ruler. The Church, on the other hand, has no inherent jurisdiction, spiritual or temporal; all her rights are given her by the State, which may withdraw them at will. Her hierarchy is of human, not Divine, institution; St Peter was never given the primacy, and the chief authority in ecclesiastical matters is the General Council, which should be composed of priests and laymen. These ideas ran counter to the medieval concept of society.
