Summary
The purpose of the analysis presented in this book was to examine a highly distinct period in the tradition of republican liberty that developed in Poland–Lithuania and prevailed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. It might be helpful to summarise some of the key elements of this tradition and its ideal of libera res publica – the free commonwealth, before moving on to remarks on how this tradition evolved in later epochs.
