This work aims to show that Vitoria, on the basis of his concept of the law, resolved a series of issues: not only those addressed by the relectio De Indis, to which he owes his fame, but also other serious matters, such as the limits of civil power - specifically of sovereignty, at a very delicate moment for nascent nation states - or of ecclesiastical power, with special regard to a spiritual reformation of the Church that the whole of Christianity perceived as necessary and indispensable.

Abstract

This work aims to show that Vitoria, on the basis of his concept of the law, resolved a series of issues: not only those addressed by the relectio De Indis, to which he owes his fame, but also other serious matters, such as the limits of civil power - specifically of sovereignty, at a very delicate moment for nascent nation states - or of ecclesiastical power, with special regard to a spiritual reformation of the Church that the whole of Christianity perceived as necessary and indispensable.
