Carl Schmitt’s Die Diktatur (1921) and Politische Theologie (1922) have been widely discussed in political science and constitutional law literature. His distinction between commissarial and sovereign dictatorships makes these works indispensable references for studying autocracy. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, his idea of decisionism, which he summarized in the adage ‘sovereign is he who decides on the state of exception,’ attracted international attention. However, the literature largely overlooks that Schmitt based his decisionist theory of dictatorship and political theology on an apocalyptic speech delivered by Juan Donoso Cortés in 1849, after the 1848 revolutions in Europe. Cortés alluded to various metaphors that presented the history of the West as a parable for the end of time. Schmitt’s early writings reveal his engagement with legal decisionism, but how he expanded this legal decisionism into a political decisionism as expressed in Politische Theologie, has not been explained yet. Through an analysis of his personal manuscripts from the early 1920s, I show that his reading of Donoso Cortés’s Speech on Dictatorship is an important source of inspiration for his decisionist theory of dictatorship that criticizes parliaments and liberalism. My paper is divided into two sections. First, I will explain the influence of Donoso Cortés on Schmitt’s works. Second, I present for the first time in the literature an analysis of Schmitt’s

The first impression that might strike a general reader glancing at Koskenniemi ’ s laborious work To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth: Legal Imagination and International Power 1300 – 1870 is to call it a book narrating the dubious history of international law. Yet, such an impression is refuted by reading the whole work in depth, albeit in its vastness. As the overarching objec-tives of Koskenniemi ’ s work are rooted in seeking out how legal imaginations pervaded Europe in the past and their connectivity with the use of power, Koskenniemi describes his book as a work devoted to the study of the history of the legal imagination. The book opens with two chapters that establish its overall framework. The first chapter unleashes how Christianity played an indispensable role in the early development of statehood in medieval Europe under French monarchs. A special emphasis is given to a dis-cussion on the reconciliation between jurisdiction and property rights, and Koskenniemi specifies the contribution made by French-Italian jurists from medieval universities such as Paris and Bologna to the early development of the legal profession. The next chapter titled “ The Political Theology of Ius Gentium ” unfolds the rise of Spanish legal imagination during its
