In 1609, the second edition of the influential work "De iustitia et iure caeterisque virtutibus cardinalibus" (On Justice and Law and the Other Cardinal Virtues) by the Flemish Jesuit Leonardus Lessius (15541623) was published.rnHere are the key details regarding this specific edition and the work:rnPublication: The 1609 edition was printed by the renowned Officina Plantiniana (Jan Moretus) in Antwerp. It is the Editio Secunda (second edition) of the work originally released in 1605.rnContent: The book is a theological and legal treatise based on the Secunda Secundae of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae (questions 47 to 171). It focuses on the application of justice and moral law.rnEconomic Innovation: Starting with this 1609 edition, an important appendix regarding the Monti di Pietà (montes pietatis or Mountains of Piety) was added. This was crucial for the ethical justification of modern banking practices, specifically regarding interest and lending.rnHistorical Significance: Lessius is highly regarded in this work for his sophisticated understanding of economics. He applied moral principles to complex 17th-century commercial practices, such as insurance, exchange rates, and market pricing. Although the first edition was published in Leuven in 1605 by Jan Masius, the 1609 version from the Plantin press was the first to be thoroughly revised and expanded by the author himself for the international market. ‎
