For his conception of the ius gentium, Aquinas took as his starting point the canon law doctrines of Gratian, who himself had adopted ideas from Isidore of Seville. Aquinas's conception of the ius gentium was different of Gratian's and relied to a large extent on the civilian interpretation of Roman law 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.

阿奎那、万灵法和德克雷特派

对于他对万邦法的概念，阿奎那以 Gratian 的教会法学说为出发点，他本人也采纳了来自塞维利亚的 Isidore 的思想。阿奎那关于万民法的概念与格拉蒂安的不同，在很大程度上依赖于对罗马法文本的民事解释。本文分析了作为 Gratian 的第一批解释者的 dedecretists 如何得出与 Gratian 本人不同的 ius gentium 概念，从而为阿奎那将罗马法概念解读为 ius gentium 铺平了道路。
