Una breve nota su ius originis, cittadinanza e filiazione

Ius originis and filiation are two sides of the same coin, as an examination of Latin
Patristic literature and, in particular, of St. Hilary’s De Trinitate attests. Jurists and the
Fathers of the Church use – albeit, of course, in two significantly different contexts –
the same institutional mechanism: and the latter, in fact, use, like the former, the expression
naturae veritas to connote legitimate filiation.
