QR code
"De Duodecim Abusionibus Sæculi" by Saint Patrick is a Hiberno-Latin treatise written between 630 and 700 by an anonymous Irish author. This influential work examines social and political morality through twelve specific abuses that threaten the proper order of society. Though attributed to various Church Fathers in medieval manuscripts, the text draws extensively from biblical sources and shaped political thought throughout Europe. Its ninth abuse, concerning the unjust king, proved particularly influential
on Carolingian mirrors for princes and later medieval political literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
