[edit] Title
The original title was indeed in Latin, and published under the pseudonym "Demócrates Alter" - "Democritus Junior" by Sepúlveda. --129.173.172.174 20:03 13 Jan 2007 (UTC)
I assume Tratado sobre las Justas Causas de la Guerra is a modern Spanish translation of his De Iustis Belli Causis. If so, the text should probably reflect the original, Latin title, but I won't change the article until I know for sure that these are the same work. --Iustinus 18:48, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Religious status
Sepulveda was NOT a Dominican! He was a secular thinker and humanist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by orique (talk • contribs).
- I can't speak to whether or not Sepúlveda was a Dominican, but he definitely was a Catholic. Perhaps "secular thinker" is a relative term? Can you provide a citation? (I myself don't have a specific citation, at least not a quick and easy one one, but I've been browsing his works online—there's a handy list of online versions here—and it's clear from those. For instance, he is listed as being a Doctor of Theology, and in one of his works he rails against Martin Luther.)
- In any case, whether or not he was a dominican, there was no reason to delete the "see also" section and the interwiki links, so I will revert your changes. Please discuss here if you intend to redo them. --Iustinus 18:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
