In funere Iacobi III Magnae Britanniae Franciae Hiberniae regis oratio

<p><i>In funere Iacobi III Magnae Britanniae Franciae Hiberniae regis oratio</i> is a funeral oration delivered by Horatius Mattei in 1765 commemorating James III of Great Britain France and Ireland. Spoken in the Basilica of the Holy Twelve Apostles before Pope Clement XIII this Latin text offers a window into the religious and political sentiments of the time following the death of the Jacobite claimant to the British throne. Mattei's oration published by Ottavio Puccinelli serves as a valuable historical document reflecting the enduring influence of the Jacobite cause and the Catholic Church's involvement in European dynastic politics during the 18th century. It stands as a testament to the complex interplay of religion monarchy and international relations in an era of significant political upheaval.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
