Matthias Kaufmann introductory remarks the first treatise of Molina’s work De iustitia et iure (comprised of 13 disputations) is concerned with justice, law, and right in general—providing a mostly traditional survey of the different uses of iustitia (disp. 1) and ius (disp. 2), as well as their parts like divine law, natural law, positive law, and so on (disp. 3–7). Furthermore, it deals with justice and injustice, with the nature of justice and its divisions and different meanings of “just,” referring explicitly to qq. 58–63 of the iiaiiae of thomas aquinas’s Summa theologiae. the second treatise is dedicated to commutative justice concerning external goods (De iustitia commutative circa bona externa) and contains760 disputations filling nearly three of the six volumes (ie about 2,000 pages of folios) of the whole gigantic work. right from the beginning Molina makes it clear that in this context the best definition of ius is “a faculty to do something, to receive something, to maintain something or to act in any way, so that whomever hinders the one who has it without legitimate reasons, is doing him a legal wrong, an injustice. Understood in this way, ius is quasi a measure of injustice.” 1 and it is precisely this definition, which obviously refers to what is later labeled “subjective right,” that will be important in Molina’s treatment of slavery. Molina then goes on1 luis de Molina, De iustitia et iure, tr. ii disp. 1 1; editio novissima (Moguntiae: 1659), col. 27. because of the large number of editions, some of which are not easily accessible, we decided to give the quotations from diei in this volume with something along the lines of a concordance system: using (1) the first edition of the first three volumes from cuenca and the edition of volumes iv and v (antwerp: 1609) as arranged by his Jesuit brothers from the collegium of Madrid,(2) the editions de facto employed by the authors of this volume and (3) the quotation with treatise, disputation and number, as they are to be found in the Mainz editions from 1614 and 1659 as well as in the Geneva edition. For pragmatic reasons we will mention first treatise, disputation and number, then column and the part of the page signed with the letter a, b... finally the columns of the venice and/or cologne edition. in this chapter, i will use the editio novissima (Moguntiae: 1659) referring to treatise, disputation and number. the respective places in other editions may be localized via the concordance at the end of this volume.
