Hebrew republic
The Hebrew Republic, also “De Republica Hebraeorum”, and also “Respublica Hebraeorum”, is an early modern concept in political theory in which Christian scholars regarded the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution framing a perfect and republican government designed by God for the children of Israel.[1][2][3]
Among the most notable works in the genre are “De Republica Hebraeorum” by Petrus Cunaeus [4][5] and Eric Nelson's "The Hebrew Republic".[6] A Catholic contributor to the respublica Hebraeorum genre was the Jesuit Giovanni Stefano Menochio, who published his own De republica Hebraeorum in 1648.[7]
