This article analyses the introductory and supplementary texts (known as paratexts) in Justus Lipsius’ edition of Politica, with the aim of better understanding how he organises his work and the ideas he proposes about the education and formation of a ruler. Specific biographical details about Lipsius, which are discussed in the article, play an important role in contextualising the text within its historical and intellectual background. The article also examines how he employs a writing technique known as cento (which consists of assembling quotations from other authors) as a key element in constructing his political argument. Particular attention is paid to the frequency and manner in which Lipsius incorporates excerpts from the Roman historian Tacitus, as well as how he sets out principles of good government through these paratexts. Ultimately, the article shows how these elements come together to provide an overall picture of Lipsius’ political thought.

This article analyses the introductory and supplementary texts (known as paratexts) in Justus Lipsius’ edition of Politica, with the aim of better understanding how he organises his work and the ideas he proposes about the education and formation of a ruler. Specific biographical details about Lipsius, which are discussed in the article, play an important role in contextualising the text within its historical and intellectual background. The article also examines how he employs a writing technique known as cento (which consists of assembling quotations from other authors) as a key element in constructing his political argument. Particular attention is paid to the frequency and manner in which Lipsius incorporates excerpts from the Roman historian Tacitus, as well as how he sets out principles of good government through these paratexts. Ultimately, the article shows how these elements come together to provide an overall picture of Lipsius’ political thought.
