Aquinas’s conception of the ius gentium was different of Gratian’s and relied to a large extent on the civilian interpretation of Romanlaw texts. This article analyzes how the decretists, the first interpreters of Gratian, arrived at a conception of the ius gentium that was different from that of Gratian himself, and thus paved the way for Aquinas to read the Roman law conception into the ius gentium.- Reproduced Journal of the History of Ideas PHILOSOPHY - WESTEN AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 391446 IIPA IIPA 2021-07-12 81(4), Oct, 2020: 509-529 AR124719 2021-07-12 AR
