Editors' note

Summary
The two editors were able to work together on this book on the conducive neutral ground of Oxford and in the company of Peter Russell, to whom the book is gratefully dedicated in recognition of this and many other debts incurred by both of us over many years.
We share responsibility for the finished work, but the initial division of labour was as follows: the Introduction and choice of texts were Anthony Pagden's, who also compiled the table of ‘Principal events in Vitoria's life’ and ‘Bibliographical note’; the editing and translation of the texts were the work of Jeremy Lawrance, who also contributed the ‘Critical note on texts and translation’, the short critical introductions to each text, the footnote commentary, and the ‘Biographical notes’, glossary, list of references, and index at the end of the book. The text was subsequently revised by both editors. In particular, Anthony Pagden made numerous suggestions and corrections to the translation and notes.
Anthony Pagden would like to thank Quentin Skinner and Raymond Geuss for their comments on an earlier draft of the Introduction. He would also like to thank Ms Kate Eliot of Princeton University for allowing him to see an unpublished paper on Vitoria's conciliarism, to which his own observations on the subject are greatly indebted.
