 The hectic pace of Bodin studies has not let up in recent years; for brevity’s sake, however, only the most important contributions will be singled out here. Anna Di Bello (2014) traces in detail the way in which the Latin translation of La République was made, providing a new understanding of Bodin’s elaboration of his masterpiece. The parallels between the French and Latin versions, the collation of the two texts, and the comparisons between them provide the opportunity to evaluate Bodin’s preoccupations at two distinct moments in time.  Those preoccupations include his conceptions of the State and the optimal structure for the realization of a polity which, beyond the good ordering and right administration of society, ensures the exercise of a sovereignty that preserves ‘harmonic justice’ in a royal monarchy such as France. Daniel Lee (2016) explores the Roman Law sources that underlie the emergence, and rise to prominence, of the theory of popular sovereignty in the early modern period. In two chapters, he seeks to undermine the traditional idea that Bodin is an ‘absolutist’ and tries to present him in a more authentic light.  Howell A. Lloyd (2017) reconstructs the intellectual biography of Bodin in a novel way. Finally, Turchetti (2018) examines the distinction between despotism and tyranny, which was essential to Bodin as the juridico-political foundation of the right of resistance, but which was progressively forgotten in later centuries.
