A problematic as pect of Melanchthon’s legal philosophical thought is his orientation of justice and natural law towards particular notitiae which provide the human mind with phi losophical knowledge in a fundamental sense. This essay argues that Me lanchthon’s use of notitiae should be understood in the light of the late-Medieval German Christian tradition’s use of the term.</p>}, journal={Tydskrif vir Christelike Wetenskap | Journal for Christian Scholarship}, author={Raath, A.
