- Title
IUS EST IDEM QUOD DOMINIUM: CONRADO SUMMENHART, FRANCISCO DE VITORIA Y LA CONQUISTA DE AMÉRICA.
- Authors
Tellkamp, Jörg Alejandro
- Abstract
This article intends to argue that Francisco de Vitoria's conception of the Spanish Conquest of America is based upon notions that stem from various sources of the 14th and 15th Century. One of his most important source is the Opus septipertitum de contractibus, written by the German theologian Conradus Summenhart, whom Vitoria quotes frequently. By comparing both thinkers it can be shown that Vitoria's basic terminology concerning rights and dominion is in greatly indebted to Summenhart's account.
