Annotation	Theodore Beza (1519-1605) is best known as a humanist and Calvinist theologian. However, he was the author of two writings that can be classified as legal history. The result of his polemic with Sebastian Castellio after the burning of Michael Servetus in Geneva was the writing De haereticis, an sint persequendi (1554), in which he speaks of the duty of the authorities to punish heretics in order to preserve the purity of the Church. Beza’s truly seminal work, then, is De iure magistratuum (French 1573, Latin 1574), in which the author responds to the events of the night of Bartholomew and characterizes the conditions under which armed resistance against a tyrant who violates the rights of his people is possible. This writing is one of the most influential works of Protestant monarchomach literature.
