Treated under the broader heading The divisions of law — Slater, Manual of Moral Theology · Wouters, Manual of Moral Theology · Vermeersch, Theologia Moralis · Merkelbach, Summa Theologiae Moralis · Sabetti-Barrett, Compendium of Moral Theology · Billuart, Summa Summae — these works do not divide the matter as finely as we do here, so their treatment stands one heading up (ed.)
