De Iure Belli ac Pacis Libri Tres In Quibus Ius Naturae et Gentium Item Juris Publici Praecipua Explicantur. Cum Annotatis Auctoris. Edited by P.C. Molhuysen. Preface by C. Van Vollenhoven. Originally published: Leiden: A.W. Sijthoff. 1919. xv 752 pp. Reprinted 2005 2016 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775393; ISBN-10: 1584775394. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Reprint of the standard critical Latin edition of Grotius's magnum opus of 1625 which established the framework of modern international law. Grotius describes the situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines the principles of armed combat. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. A work of painstaking philological research this edition is based on the final version edited by the author which issued posthumously in 1646. Differences between this edition and those of 1632 and 1642 are noted and the author of each text quotation is identified with reference to modern editions. A list of Grotius's citations is also included. "Others wrote upon the law of nations before him but Grotius was the first to attempt a systematic treatise. . . . In his De Jure Belli ac Pacis first published in 1625 there is precedent or inspiration for most of the important doctrines elaborated by later writers." Edwin D. Dickinson 26 Am. J. Int'l L. 239 1932. Hugo Grotius 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. This work De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace originally published in 1625 is widely considered to be the first master treatise on international law. Grotius is also known for De Jure Praedae 1604 in which he argues against territorial sovereignty of the seas and The Freedom of the Seas Mare Liberum 1609 which continues his plea for free trade among all nations. unknown books

New. $24.95 Reprint of the first edition. Written between 1604 and 1605 De Jure Praedae On the Law of Prize which remained in manuscript until 1868 is the earliest significant legal work by Hugo Grotius 1583-1645. His discussion of prize is not restricted to issues of legality; he seeks to determine also whether the capture of enemy material is honorable or expedient. He pursues these issues through an elegant argument based on natural law. Remarkable for its intellectual finesse and literary quality De Jure Praedae is equally significant as the source of two of his most important writings. Mare Liberum 1609 is based on one of its chapters. It also contains an early version of De Jure Belli ac Pacis 1625. In this regard the book offers a valuable introduction to the issues explored in these later works. Appended to this reprint is Robert J. Fruin's valuable essay An Unpublished Work of Hugo Grotius's. Written in 1868 and later republished in English in 1925 it remains the principal study of this work. Hugo Grotius 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. His other works include De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace 1625 one of the great treatises on international law and Mare Liberum The Freedom of the Seas 1609 a compelling plea for free trade among nations. unknown books
