Dear Ken, your query is fascinating, and well within this list's ambit. The only political theorists I know who would make a link, if not in content then at least in approach, between Marsilio and Hobbes (not sure about Locke) would be the Straussians, those 20th-century political philosophers who follow in the footsteps of Leo Strauss. (These include, inter alia, Allan Bloom, famous among other things for his best selling *The closing of the American mind : how higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today's students*.) For a quick intro, look at a collection of essays edited by Strauss and Joseph Cropsey: TITLE History of political philosophy, edited by Leo Strauss [and] Joseph Cropsey. PUB. INFO Chicago, Rand McNally [1963] DESCRIPTION 790 p. 24 cm. SERIES Rand McNally political science series The book includes essays on political theorists deemed the most significant, from the time of Plato onward. Interesting to note not only that there's an essay on Marsilio, but that Strauss decided to write it himself. (Strauss also wrote a book entitled *The Political Philosophy of Hobbes*, Chicago, 1963.) Enjoy! George Ferzoco
