Guillaume-Emmanuel-Joseph Guilhem de Clermont-Lodève, Baron de Sainte-Croix (Mormoiron, Comtat Venaissin, 1746; Thiais, 1809), French antiquarian, historian, and writer, educated by the Jesuits of Avignon, was a member of the Académie royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres and, from 1803, of the class of History and Ancient Literature of the Institut national. His work is situated in the tradition of classical French scholarship, with works on Alexander the Great, the religions of Antiquity, and the maritime history of England. This work, published in An XII (1804), examines the ancient federative governments of Ancient Greece, in particular the Achaean League and the Cretan League, and the legislation of Crete, considered as models for the theory of political associations. The reflection is part of the political debate of the consular and imperial period on the forms of state organization. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
