It found its way into print twice in the later 15th century, with one of its most exquisite manuscripts being in the possession of Pope Sixtus IV. While its ideal of an enlightened papacy (monarchia de concilio peritorum) did not endure the Reformation, many of its principles found their way into the writings of political philosophers, alongside other influences, contributing to the rise of constitutional liberalism and responsible government.
