The project The School of Salamanca. A digital collection of sources and a dictionary of its juridical-political language is a long-term research project that is jointly carried out by the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz, the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory, Frankfurt am Main, and Goethe University Frankfurt. Its aim is to build up a Digital Collection of Sources as digital editions and to provide scholars with a dictionary of key terms of the School of Salamanca which dates back to the Early Modern Time. The directors of the project, Thomas Duve and Matthias Lutz-Bachmann, will briefly present the project and introduce the philosophical and legal historical significance of the School of Salamanca for us today.
