abstract = "Gratian is the single most influential figure in the history of the Western just war tradition. This is a bold claim, but it is securely based upon the fact that Gratian{\textquoteright}s law book, the Concordia discordantium canonum {\textquotedblleft}A concordance of discordant canons{\textquotedblright}, is the foundational text of the Western just war corpus. More commonly known as the Decretum Gratiani, or simply Decretum, Gratian{\textquoteright}s law book created for the first time a truly systematic analysis of the relationship between war and justice. Furthermore, the Decretum{\textquoteright}s influence extends far beyond the field of just war studies - it helped to shape the entire Western legal tradition.",
