Vol. I, Pt. I, Q. III, Art. 6. Civil Law, Special Kinds of Laws, nn. 557–572 (16 passages)

Treated under the broader heading The divisions of law — Noldin, Summa of Moral Theology · Slater, Manual of Moral Theology · Wouters, Manual of Moral Theology · Vermeersch, Theologia Moralis · Prümmer, Manuale Theologiae 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.)
