81-454: Emporis was a real estate data mining company with headquarters in Hamburg , Germany. The company collected data and photographs of buildings worldwide, which were published in an online database from 2000 to September 2022. On 12 September 2022, the managing director of CoStar Europe posted a letter on Emporis.com, informing its community members of the decision which had been made to retire

162-399: A conscience . There are many manifestations of the good that we can pursue. Some, like procreation , are common to other animals, while others, like the pursuit of truth, are inclinations peculiar to the capacities of human beings. To know what is right, one must use one's reason and apply it to Thomas Aquinas' precepts. This reason is believed to be embodied, in its most abstract form, in

243-406: A complete listing of housing types and layouts, real estate trends for shifts in the market, and house or home for more general information. Real estate can be valued or devalued based on the amount of environmental degradation that has occurred. Environmental degradation can cause extreme health and safety risks. There is a growing demand for the use of site assessments (ESAs) when valuing

324-612: A model for his own." Jefferson described Cicero as "the father of eloquence and philosophy." Paul's Epistle to the Romans is generally considered the Scriptural authority for the Christian idea of natural law as something that was endowed in all men, contrasted with an idea of law as something revealed (for example, the law revealed to Moses by God ). "For when the Gentiles, which have not

405-555: A natural law, though Aristotle does not discuss this and suggests in the Politics that the best regime may not rule by law at all. The best evidence of Aristotle's having thought there is a natural law is in the Rhetoric , where Aristotle notes that, aside from the "particular" laws that each people has set up for itself, there is a "common" law that is according to nature. Specifically, he quotes Sophocles and Empedocles: Universal law

486-634: A property for both private and commercial real estate. Environmental surveying is made possible by environmental surveyors who examine the environmental factors present within the development of real estate as well as the impacts that development and real estate has on the environment. Green development is a concept that has grown since the 1970s with the environmental movement and the World Commission on Environment and Development. Green development examines social and environmental impacts with real estate and building. There are 3 areas of focus, being

567-475: A reformer of vice and an incentive to virtue." Cicero expressed the view that "the virtues which we ought to cultivate, always tend to our own happiness, and that the best means of promoting them consists in living with men in that perfect union and charity which are cemented by mutual benefits." In De Re Publica , he writes: There is indeed a law, right reason, which is in accordance with nature; existing in all, unchangeable, eternal. Commanding us to do what

648-445: A way for corrupt foreign government officials and businesspeople from countries without strong rule of law to launder money or to protect it from seizure. Natural law In Western tradition, natural law was anticipated by the pre-Socratics , for example, in their search for principles that governed the cosmos and human beings. The concept of natural law was documented in ancient Greek philosophy , including Aristotle , and

729-685: Is a way in which the universe has been designed, and that natural law helps us to harmonize with this. In the Fifth Book of his History of the Roman Republic Livy puts a formulation of the Natural Law into the mouth of Marcus Furius Camillus during the siege of the Falerii "You, villain, have not come with your villainous offer to a nation or a commander like yourself. Between us and the Faliscans there

810-541: Is blotted out in the case of a particular action, insofar as reason is hindered from applying the general principle to a particular point of practice, on account of concupiscence or some other passion, as stated above (77, 2). But as to the other, i.e., the secondary precepts, the natural law can be blotted out from the human heart, either by evil persuasions, just as in speculative matters errors occur in respect of necessary conclusions; or by vicious customs and corrupt habits, as among some men, theft, and even unnatural vices, as

891-587: Is concerned with both exterior and interior acts, also known as action and motive. Simply doing the right thing is not enough; to be truly moral one's motive must be right as well. For example, helping an old lady across the road (good exterior act) to impress someone (bad interior act) is wrong. However, good intentions don't always lead to good actions. The motive must coincide with the cardinal or theological virtues. Cardinal virtues are acquired through reason applied to nature; they are: The theological virtues are: According to Aquinas, to lack any of these virtues

972-593: Is different from personal property, while estate means the "interest" a person has in that land property. Real estate is different from personal property, which is not permanently attached to the land (or comes with the land), such as vehicles, boats, jewelry, furniture, tools, and the rolling stock of a farm and farm animals. In the United States, the transfer, owning, or acquisition of real estate can be through business corporations, individuals, nonprofit corporations, fiduciaries, or any legal entity as seen within

1053-491: Is expected to vary from place to place, but what is "by nature" should be the same everywhere. A "law of nature" therefore has the flavor more of a paradox than something that obviously existed. Against the conventionalism that the distinction between nature and custom could engender, Socrates and his philosophic heirs, Plato and Aristotle , posited the existence of natural justice or natural right ( dikaion physikon , δίκαιον φυσικόν , Latin ius naturale ). Of these, Aristotle

1134-461: Is fundamentally equal and bestowed with an intrinsic basic set of rights that no one can remove. Modern natural law theory took shape in the Age of Enlightenment , combining inspiration from Roman law , Christian scholastic philosophy, and contemporary concepts such as social contract theory. It was used in challenging the theory of the divine right of kings , and became an alternative justification for

1215-408: Is how human beings manifest the divine image in their life. This mimicry of God 's own life is impossible to accomplish except by means of the power of grace. Thus, whereas deontological systems merely require certain duties be performed, Christianity explicitly states that no one can, in fact, perform any duties if grace is lacking. For Christians, natural law flows not from divine commands, but from

1296-483: Is itself a 'perversion of law.' At this point, the natural law was not only used to pass judgment on the moral worth of various laws, but also to determine what those laws meant in the first place. This principle laid the seed for possible societal tension with reference to tyrants . The Catholic Church holds the view of natural law introduced by Albertus Magnus and elaborated by Thomas Aquinas , particularly in his Summa Theologica , and often as filtered through

1377-497: Is no fellowship based on a formal compact as between man and man, but the fellowship which is based on natural instincts exists between us, and will continue to do so. There are rights of war as there are rights of peace, and we have learnt to wage our wars with justice no less than with courage. We do not use our weapons against those of an age which is spared even in the capture of cities, but against those who are armed as we are, and who without any injury or provocation from us attacked

1458-479: Is not subject to human laws and conventions, He may command what He wills just as He may do what He wills. The Maturidi school, the second-largest school of Sunni theology, as well as the Mu'tazilites , posits the existence of a form of natural, or "objective", law that humans can comprehend. Abu Mansur al-Maturidi stated that the human mind could know of the existence of God and the major forms of "good" and "evil" without

1539-604: Is often purchased as an investment, whether or not the owner intends to use the property. Often investment properties are rented out, but " flipping " involves quickly reselling a property, sometimes taking advantage of arbitrage or quickly rising value, and sometimes after repairs are made that substantially raise the value of the property. Luxury real estate is sometimes used as a way to store value, especially by wealthy foreigners, without any particular attempt to rent it out. Some luxury units in London and New York City have been used as

1620-612: Is often said to be the father of natural law. Aristotle's association with natural law may be due to Thomas Aquinas 's interpretation of his work. But whether Aquinas correctly read Aristotle is in dispute. According to some, Aquinas conflates natural law and natural right, the latter of which Aristotle posits in Book V of the Nicomachean Ethics (Book IV of the Eudemian Ethics ). According to this interpretation, Aquinas's influence

1701-471: Is right, forbidding us to do what is wrong. It has dominion over good men, but possesses no influence over bad ones. No other law can be substituted for it, no part of it can be taken away, nor can it be abrogated altogether. Neither the people or the senate can absolve from it. It is not one thing at Rome, and another thing at Athens: one thing to-day, and another thing to-morrow; but it is eternal and immutable for all nations and for all time. Cicero influenced

1782-415: Is saying that to do this is not just for some people, while unjust for others: Some critics believe that this remark's context suggests only that Aristotle advised that it can be rhetorically advantageous to appeal to such a law, especially when the "particular" law of one's own city is averse to the case being made, not that there actually is such a law. Moreover, they write that Aristotle considered two of

1863-451: Is the law of Nature. For there really is, as every one to some extent divines, a natural justice and injustice that is binding on all men, even on those who have no association or covenant with each other. It is this that Sophocles' Antigone clearly means when she says that the burial of Polyneices was a just act in spite of the prohibition: she means that it was just by nature: And so Empedocles , when he bids us kill no living creature, he

1944-469: Is to lack the ability to make a moral choice. For example, consider a person who possesses the virtues of justice, prudence, and fortitude, yet lacks temperance. Due to their lack of self-control and desire for pleasure, despite their good intentions, they will find themself swaying from the moral path. Based on the works of Thomas Aquinas, the members of the School of Salamanca were in the 16th and 17th centuries

2025-509: The Eternal law , it needed to be supplemented by revealed Divine law . See also Biblical law in Christianity . Aquinas taught that all human or positive laws were to be judged by their conformity to the natural law. An unjust law is not a law, in the full sense of the word. It retains merely the 'appearance' of law insofar as it is duly constituted and enforced in the same way a just law is, but

2106-657: The Great Depression in the U.S. caused a major drop in real estate worth and prices and ultimately resulted in depreciation of 50% for the four years after 1929. Housing financing in the U.S. was greatly affected by the Banking Act of 1933 and the National Housing Act in 1934 because it allowed for mortgage insurance for home buyers and this system was implemented by the Federal Deposit Insurance as well as

2187-452: The School of Salamanca . This view is also shared by some Protestants , and was delineated by Anglican writer C. S. Lewis in his works Mere Christianity and The Abolition of Man . The Catholic Church understands human beings to consist of body and soul, and that the two are inextricably linked. Humans are capable of discerning the difference between good and evil because they have

2268-452: The divine law and grace of Jesus Christ . Augustine was also among the earliest to examine the legitimacy of the laws of man, and attempt to define the boundaries of what laws and rights occur naturally based on wisdom and conscience, instead of being arbitrarily imposed by mortals, and if people are obligated to obey laws that are unjust . The natural law was inherently teleological as well as deontological . For Christians, natural law

2349-546: The "higher" law that Aristotle suggested one could appeal to was emphatically natural , in contradistinction to being the result of divine positive legislation , the Stoic natural law was indifferent to either the natural or divine source of the law: the Stoics asserted the existence of a rational and purposeful order to the universe (a divine or eternal law ), and the means by which a rational being lived in accordance with this order

2430-499: The 'natural law' in Cicero , a law written in men's hearts, recognized by man's reason, a law distinct from the positive law of any State, or from what St Paul recognized as the revealed law of God . It is in this sense that St Paul's words are taken by the Fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries like St Hilary of Poitiers , St Ambrose , and St Augustine , and there seems no reason to doubt

2511-477: The Apostle states (Rm. i), were not esteemed sinful. However, while the primary and immediate precepts cannot be "blotted out", the secondary precepts can be. Therefore, for a deontological ethical theory they are open to a surprisingly large amount of interpretation and flexibility. Any rule that helps humanity to live up to the primary or subsidiary precepts can be a secondary precept, for example: Natural moral law

2592-515: The Beautiful, and Plato describes how Socrates 's experience of the Beautiful enabled him to resist the temptations of wealth and sex. In the Republic , the ideal community is "a city which would be established in accordance with nature". Greek philosophy emphasized the distinction between "nature" ( physis , φúσις ) and "law", "custom", or " convention " ( nomos , νóμος ). What the law commanded

2673-485: The Emporis community platform, effective 13 September 2022. Emporis offered a variety of information on its public database, Emporis.com. Emporis was frequently cited by various media sources as an authority on building data. Emporis originally focused exclusively on high-rise buildings and skyscrapers , which it defined as buildings "between 35 and 100 metres" tall and "at least 100 metres tall", respectively. Emporis used

2754-797: The Emporis website created a new website called SKYDB, a website that acts with a similar purpose. In 2000, a group of Emporis senior editors began presenting the Emporis Skyscraper Award . Eligible buildings are selected from a list of all buildings in the world at least 100 meters tall which were completed that year. Real estate Real estate is property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as growing crops (e.g. timber), minerals or water, and wild animals; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this (also) an item of real property , (more generally) buildings or housing in general. In terms of law, real relates to land property and

2835-592: The Federal Housing Administration. In 1938, an amendment was made to the National Housing Act and Fannie Mae , a government agency, was established to serve as a secondary market for mortgages and to give lenders more money in order for new homes to be funded. Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act in the U.S., which is also known as the Fair Housing Act, was put into place in 1968 and dealt with

2916-456: The Roman Empire, its foundation as a consistent system was laid by Aquinas, who synthesized and condensed his predecessors' ideas into his Lex Naturalis ( lit.   ' Natural law ' ). Aquinas argues that because human beings have reason , and because reason is a spark of the divine, all human lives are sacred and of infinite value compared to any other created object, meaning everyone

2997-537: The Roman camp at Veii. These men you, as far as you could, have vanquished by an unprecedented act of villainy; I shall vanquish them as I vanquished Veii, by Roman arts, by courage and strategy and force of arms." Cicero wrote in his De Legibus that both justice and law originate from what nature has given to humanity, from what the human mind embraces, from the function of humanity, and from what serves to unite humanity. For Cicero, natural law obliges us to contribute to

3078-490: The ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman and philosopher united in the same character, his authority should have great weight." Thomas Jefferson "first encountered Cicero as a schoolboy while learning Latin, and continued to read his letters and discourses throughout his life. He admired him as a patriot, valued his opinions as a moral philosopher, and there is little doubt that he looked upon Cicero's life, with his love of study and aristocratic country life, as

3159-585: The authority of "divine revelation" and asserted that it must be followed even if it "seems" to contradict human reason, though he stressed that most, if not all, of "God's commands" are both sensible (that is, rationalizable) and advantageous to humans in both "this life" and "the hereafter". The concept of Istislah in Islamic law bears some similarities to the natural law tradition in the West, as exemplified by Thomas Aquinas . However, whereas natural law deems good what

3240-446: The concept of a primary precept: "Good is to be sought, evil avoided." Aquinas explains that: there belongs to the natural law, first, certain most general precepts, that are known to all; and secondly, certain secondary and more detailed precepts, which are, as it were, conclusions following closely from first principles. As to those general principles, the natural law, in the abstract, can nowise be blotted out from men's hearts. But it

3321-588: The concept of natural law has been used by philosophers throughout history also in a different sense from those mentioned above, e.g. for the law of the strongest, which can be observed to hold among all members of the animal kingdom, or as the principle of self-preservation, inherent as an instinct in all living beings. Plato did not have an explicit theory of natural law (he rarely used the phrase "natural law" except in Gorgias 484 and Timaeus 83e), but his concept of nature, according to John Wild , contains some of

3402-572: The correctness of their interpretation." Because of its origins in the Old Testament, early Church Fathers , especially those in the West , saw natural law as part of the natural foundation of Christianity . The most notable among these was Augustine of Hippo , who equated natural law with humanity's prelapsarian state; as such, a life according to unbroken human nature was no longer possible and persons needed instead to seek healing and salvation through

3483-594: The discussion of natural law for many centuries to come, up through the era of the American Revolution. The jurisprudence of the Roman Empire was rooted in Cicero, who held "an extraordinary grip ... upon the imagination of posterity" as "the medium for the propagation of those ideas which informed the law and institutions of the empire." Cicero's conception of natural law "found its way to later centuries notably through

3564-551: The elements of many natural law theories. According to Plato, we live in an orderly universe. The basis of this orderly universe or nature are the forms , most fundamentally the Form of the Good , which Plato calls "the brightest region of Being". The Form of the Good is the cause of all things, and a person who sees it is led to act wisely. In the Symposium , the Good is closely identified with

3645-474: The environmental responsiveness, resource efficiency , and the sensitivity of cultural and societal aspects. Examples of Green development are green infrastructure , LEED , conservation development , and sustainability developments. Real estate in itself has been measured as a contributing factor to the rise in green house gases. According to the International Energy Agency, real estate in 2019

3726-452: The equality of men is the most profound contribution of the Stoics to political thought" and that "its greatest influence is in the changed conception of law that in part resulted from it. Natural law first appeared among the Stoics, who believed that God is everywhere and in everyone (see classical pantheism ). According to this belief, there is a "divine spark" within us that helps us live in accordance with nature. The Stoics believed there

3807-715: The establishment of a social contract, positive law, and government —and thus legal rights—in the form of classical republicanism . John Locke was a key Enlightenment-era proponent of natural law, stressing its role in the justification of property rights and the right to revolution . In the early decades of the 21st century, the concept of natural law is closely related to the concept of natural rights and has libertarian and conservative proponents. Indeed, many philosophers , jurists and scholars use natural law synonymously with natural rights ( Latin : ius naturale ) or natural justice ; others distinguish between natural law and natural right. Some scholars point out that

3888-449: The fact that humanity is made in God's image, humanity is empowered by God's grace. Living the natural law is how humanity displays the gifts of life and grace, the gifts of all that is good. Consequences are in God's hands, consequences are generally not within human control, thus in natural law, actions are judged by three things: (1) the person's intent, (2) the circumstances of the act and (3)

3969-444: The first people to develop a modern approach of natural law, which greatly influence Grotius . For Leonardus Lessius , natural law ensues from the rationnal nature and the natural state of everything : That way it is immutable on the contrary of positive law, which stems from divine or human will. Jurists and theologians claimed thus the right to observe the conformity of the positive law with natural law. For Domingo de Soto ,

4050-416: The general good of the larger society. The purpose of positive laws is to provide for "the safety of citizens, the preservation of states, and the tranquility and happiness of human life." In this view, "wicked and unjust statutes" are "anything but 'laws,'" because "in the very definition of the term 'law' there inheres the idea and principle of choosing what is just and true." Law, for Cicero, "ought to be

4131-435: The help of revelation. Al-Maturidi gives the example of stealing, which, he believes, is known to be evil by reason alone due to people's working hard for their property. Similarly, killing, fornication, and drunkenness are all "discernible evils" that the human mind could know of according to al-Maturidi. Likewise, Averroes (Ibn Rushd), in his treatise on Justice and Jihad and his commentary on Plato's Republic , writes that

4212-543: The human mind can know of the unlawfulness of killing and stealing and thus of the five maqasid or higher intents of the Islamic sharia , or the protection of religion, life, property, offspring, and reason. His Aristotelian commentaries also influenced the subsequent Averroist movement and the writings of Thomas Aquinas . Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya also posited that human reason could discern between "great sins" and "good deeds". Nonetheless, he, like Ibn Taymiyah , emphasized

4293-495: The idea of private property. One of the largest initial real estate deals in history known as the " Louisiana Purchase " happened in 1803 when the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed. This treaty paved the way for western expansion and made the U.S. the owners of the " Louisiana Territory " as the land was bought from France for fifteen million, making each acre roughly 4 cents. The oldest real estate brokerage firm

4374-652: The incorporation of African Americans into neighborhoods as the issues of discrimination were analyzed with the renting, buying, and financing of homes. Internet real estate as a concept began with the first appearance of real estate platforms on the World Wide Web (www) and occurred in 1999. Residential real estate may contain either a single family or multifamily structure that is available for occupation or for non-business purposes. Residences can be classified by and how they are connected to neighbouring residences and land. Different types of housing tenure can be used for

4455-469: The law of each U.S. state. The natural right of a person to own property as a concept can be seen as having roots in Roman law as well as Greek philosophy. The profession of appraisal can be seen as beginning in England during the 1500s, as agricultural needs required land clearing and land preparation. Textbooks on the subject of surveying began to be written and the term "surveying" was used in England, while

4536-433: The law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another." The intellectual historian A. J. Carlyle has commented on this passage, "There can be little doubt that St Paul's words imply some conception analogous to

4617-771: The natural law, is conceived as an institution whose purpose is to assist in bringing its subjects to true happiness. True happiness derives from living in harmony with the mind of God as an image of the living God. After the Protestant Reformation , some Protestant denominations maintained parts of the Catholic concept of natural law. The English theologian Richard Hooker from the Church of England adapted Thomistic notions of natural law to Anglicanism five principles: to live, to learn, to reproduce, to worship God, and to live in an ordered society. In Catholic countries in

4698-401: The nature of the act. The apparent good or evil consequence resulting from the moral act is not relevant to the act itself. The specific content of the natural law is therefore determined by how each person's acts mirror God's internal life of love. Insofar as one lives the natural law, temporal satisfaction may or may not be attained, but salvation will be attained. The state , in being bound by

4779-440: The notion of "divine revelation" is justified as some kind of "divine intervention" that replaces human positive laws , which are criticized as being relative, with a single divine positive law . This, however, also entails that anything may be included in "the divine law" as it would in "human laws", but unlike the latter, "God's law" is seen as binding regardless of the nature of the commands by virtue of "God's might": since God

In 2007 venture capital firm Neuhaus Partners and KfW Bankengruppe invested several million euro in the company. Effective 1 January 2009, the company moved its headquarters from Darmstadt to Frankfurt. In 2011, the company moved from Frankfurt to Hamburg. On 26 October 2020, CoStar Group, Inc. , based in Washington, D.C. , completed its acquisition of Emporis GmbH. CoStar Group added Emporis to its portfolio of brands.

As Pedro de Oñate said "Consequently, natural law, canon law and Hispanic law entirely agree and innumerable difficulties, frauds, litigations and disputes have been removed thanks to such great consensus and clarity in the laws. To the contracting parties, liberty has very wisely been restored" Besides, natural law also requires

5103-554: The radical ideological tradition that travelled from the mother country to the colonies in the course of the eighteenth century and decisively shaped early American political culture." Cicero's description of the immutable, eternal, and universal natural law was quoted by Burlamaqui and later by the American revolutionary legal scholar James Wilson . Cicero became John Adams 's "foremost model of public service, republican virtue, and forensic eloquence." Adams wrote of Cicero that "as all

5184-463: The respect of the commutative justice in contractual relation: both parties are binded to respect the notion of just prices on penalty of sin. The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes it in the following way: "The natural law expresses the original moral sense which enables man to discern by reason the good and the evil, the truth and the lie: 'The natural law is written and engraved in

5265-602: The same physical type. For example, connected residences might be owned by a single entity and leased out, or owned separately with an agreement covering the relationship between units and common areas and concerns. According to the Congressional Research Service, in 2021, 65% of homes in the U.S. are owned by the occupier. Other categories The size of havelis and chawls is measured in Gaz (square yards), Quila, Marla, Beegha, and acre. See List of house types for

5346-500: The soul of each and every man, because it is human reason ordaining him to do good and forbidding him to sin . . . But this command of human reason would not have the force of law if it were not the voice and interpreter of a higher reason to which our spirit and our freedom must be submitted. ' " The natural law consists, for the Catholic Church, of one supreme and universal principle from which are derived all our natural moral obligations or duties. Thomas Aquinas resumes

5427-517: The survival of the fittest. He argued that the antagonism between human beings can be overcome only through a divine law , which he believed to have been sent through prophets . This is also said to be the general position of the Ashari school, the largest school of Sunni theology, as well as Ibn Hazm . Conceptualized thus, all "laws" are viewed as originating from subjective attitudes actuated by cultural conceptions and individual preferences, and so

5508-553: The term "appraising" was more used in North America. Natural law which can be seen as "universal law" was discussed among writers of the 15th and 16th century as it pertained to "property theory" and the inter-state relations dealing with foreign investments and the protection of citizens private property abroad. Natural law can be seen as having an influence in Emerich de Vattel 's 1758 treatise The Law of Nations which conceptualized

5589-480: The theologians task is to assess the moral foundations of civil law. Due to this review right based on natural law, Soto criticised the new Spanish charities' laws on the pretext that they violated the fondamental rights of the poors, or that Juan de Mariana considered that the consent of population was needed in matter of taxation or money alteration. Criticized by protestant thinkers like Friedrich Balduin  [ de ] and Samuel von Pufendorf , this view

5670-515: The three candidates for a universally valid, natural law provided in this passage to be wrong. Aristotle's paternity of natural law tradition is consequently disputed. The development of this tradition of natural justice into one of natural law is usually attributed to the Stoics . The rise of natural law as a universal system coincided with the rise of large empires and kingdoms in the Greek world. Whereas

5751-442: The tradition of the early Christian law and in the twelfth century, Gratian equated the natural law with divine law. Albertus Magnus would address the subject a century later, and his pupil, Thomas Aquinas , in his Summa Theologica I-II qq. 90–106 , restored Natural Law to its independent state, asserting natural law as the rational creature's participation in the eternal law. Yet, since human reason could not fully comprehend

5832-422: The various ideas of Catholic moral thinkers about what this principle is: since good is what primarily falls under the apprehension of the practical reason, the supreme principle of moral action must have the good as its central idea, and therefore the supreme principle is that good is to be done and evil avoided. Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī , a medieval scholar , scientist , and polymath , understood "natural law" as

5913-532: The writings of Isidore of Seville and the Decretum of Gratian ." Thomas Aquinas , in his summary of medieval natural law, quoted Cicero's statement that "nature" and "custom" were the sources of a society's laws. The Renaissance Italian historian Leonardo Bruni praised Cicero as the person "who carried philosophy from Greece to Italy, and nourished it with the golden river of his eloquence." The legal culture of Elizabethan England, exemplified by Sir Edward Coke ,
