Manual — Arthur Vermeersch, S.J.

Questions on Justice for Present-Day Use, Scholastically Disputed

First published 1904. Vermeersch's Quaestiones de iustitia ad usum hodiernum scholastice disputatae, second edition, enlarged and more accurate (Bruges: Charles Beyaert, 1904) -- the second volume of his Quaestiones morales ad usum hodiernum, with the letter of Leo XIII and the Imprimatur. The English translation is our own, made from the Latin page by page against the printed pages: his marginal numbers 1-570 (with 82 bis, 171 bis, 350 bis and 462 bis) are the anchors of citation, his notes stand at the foot of the passage that calls them, his Summary of Contents stands at the front and his Bibliography, Onomastic Index and Alphabetical Index of Subjects at the end, every reference a link. The eighteen corrections of the printed Errata are made in the text, and the Errata page is translated too. The foldout chart of taxes is reproduced from the printed plate, its inscriptions translated beneath it. In the Appendix the French version of the Motu Proprio, which repeats the Italian word for word, is not translated a second time; the place is marked.
