 Classical Free: GREAT BOOKS INTRODUCTION   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Policraticus of John of Salisbury was the first attempt to tie together the new political dynamic in a systematic discussion of the principles of civil government.
John described the new political paradigm in terms of a body, probably the first to use the term "body politic." The idea finds a parallel in St. Paul’s analogy of the church as a body, in I Corinthians 12.
Moreover, it would appear that John of Salisbury failed to distinguish a proper separation of the two offices in describing the magistrate as a minister of the priestly office rather than a minister of God.

 Ancestors of 1st Earl Of Salisbury John MONTACUTE
Towards the close of 1398, Salisbury was nominated Marshal of England during the absence of the Duke of Surrey in Ireland and Froissart's narrative, that he was, about Christmas, entrusted with a negotiation of great delicacy at the French Court, seems to be corroborated by the record of a safe-conduct then granted to him.
Salisbury, in his turn, endeavoured to extenuate his conduct upon grounds similar to those which had been pleaded by his former confederates, averring that he had not been the author or contriver of the bill of appeal, and his ignorance even of its purport until commanded by the late King to join in the proceeding.
It is remarkable that Salisbury should have been excepted from the parliamentary sentence by which his associates in the appeal were deprived of the grants of land made to them subsequent to the ruin of Gloucester and his party.

 John of Salisbury Letter 304
But he was deceived in his expectation, for John of Oxford brought a letter from the king, in which he requested and warned him to return to his church without delay and have the pleasure of making his journey with John as escort and comforter.
When he knew for sure of their journey and their plots, he took what action he could to baulk their scheme by sending the archbishop of York the papal letter by which he and the bishop of Durham are suspended from episcopal office for the illegal coronation of the new king.
The soldiers made a great din; but John of Oxford restrained them and made them lay down their arms—not, as is thought, as a kindness to our folk, so much as for fear that if they did anything rash the king and his children would be branded as traitors.

Subsequently, John seems to have continued his studies under Alberic of Rheims, Robert of Melun, William of Conches, Richard l’Evêque, and Simon of Poissy, whereas Abelard had withdrawn from his teaching duties in Paris as a result of many conflicts with the Church authorities relating to his allegedly heretical ideas.
But John, who was as much a defender of the Church as Thomas Becket, soon experienced royal disfavor in 1159 because of his defense of the superior role of the church versus the monarchy, particularly with regards to taxation and the investiture of bishops and other clerics.
In 1163 the tensions betwen John of Salisbury and King Henry II acerbated and John was forced to leave England.

 St John Singers Wassail Party
The first St John Singers Wassail Party in 1980 was intended to be a one time only event to raise money for the Mayor of Salisbury's (Cllr Douglas Stephenson) charity.
Although the choir no longer prepares the supper, it undertakes all the preparations for the party including laying out the tables and chairs, decorating the hall, making the floral arrangements, laying up the tables, laying out the raffle and selling raffle tickets as well as providing the musical entertainment.
The success of this event is due to its several ingredients of traditional and seasonal entertainment by the St John Singers and the Salisbury Brass Ensemble, quality guest artistes and a wholesome meal with all proceeds going to worthwhile causes.

There are certainly notable exceptions to this perhaps contentious observation (see for example the articles on Peter Auriol, John Buridan, Godfrey of Fontaines, Nicholas of Autrecourt, Peter John Olivi, and Philip the Chancellor), but with the arguable exception of Buridan, surely none of them is of the stature of the four mentioned above.
