Abstract: This article responds to the previous articles in this issue on the new Clarendon Edition of Hobbes’s Leviathan. It focuses in particular on points raised by Kinch Hoekstra, concerning such matters as Hobbes’s theory about the nullity of grants of essential sovereign powers, the intended readership of the text, the nature of Hobbes’s political re-positioning in the “Review, and Conclusion” at the end of the book, and the iconography of the famous engraved title page.
