| In Renaissance terms, the distinction is
between iustitia legitima and aequitas or aequalitas, between
"justice as a whole" and "particular justice. " So I think he may well have shared Rabelais's pleasure
in wit, even if the two are not as close here as they are in their
mutual dedication to the restoration of good letters, to virtuous
government by princes and popes, to the Christian ideal of caritas, and
to the principle of animi aequitas (a marginal note to book 5 of the
1542 edition says "Animus aequus omnia in bonam partem
interpretat," which will sound very familiar to readers of
Rabelais). -- Private equity investment firm Aequitas Capital
