The Salamanca Working Paper Series
'The School of Salamanca. A Digital Collection of Sources and a Dictionary of its Juridical-Political Language' is a project building a digital text corpus including more than 120 works of the Salmantine jurists and theologians in selected prints from the 16th and 17th centuries and a complementary historic dictionary of circa 300 essential terms of the Salmantine School's juridic-politic language, bringing together international and interdisciplinary research perspectives. It is funded by the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz, and hosted at the Max-Planck-Institute for European Legal History and the Institute of Philosophy at Goethe-University, both in Frankfurt/Main.
The Project's peer-reviewed Working Paper Series aims to reflect the thematic and disciplinary variety of the School and the transnational history of its reception. It features research articles by the project staff as well as of other authors.

The article introduces a research project financed by the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz began in 2013 and will extend over an 18-year period. It aims at producing a historical-semantic dictionary elucidating central terms of the School of Salamanca's discourses and their significance for modern political theory and jurisprudence. The project's fundament will be a digital corpus of important texts from the School of Salamanca which will be linked up with the dictionary's online version. By making the source corpus accessible in searchable full text (as well as in high quality digital images), the project is creating a new research tool with exciting possibilities for further investigations. The dictionary will be a valuable source of information for the interdisciplinary research carried out in this field.
