Lugduni Batavorum Leiden 1640. 12mo. Bound in one contemp. full vellum. Small spots to vellum. MS-title on spine faint. 63277;372 pp. Light marginal browning. From the library of the Danish zoologist Henrik Kr�yer. � Early edition of this famous work arguing for the truth of Christianity and aiming to convert Muslims and Jews to Christianity.<br><br>While in Paris Grotius set about rendering into Latin prose a work which he had compiled in prison providing rudimentary yet systematic arguments for the truth of Christianity. Showcasing Grotius' skill as a poet the earlier Dutch version of the work Bewijs van den waren Godsdienst pub. 1622 was written entirely in didactic verse. The Latin work was first published in 1627 as De veritate religionis Christianae.<br><br>"It was the first Protestant textbook in Christian apologetics and was divided into six books. Part of the text dealt with the emerging questions of historical consciousness concerning the authorship and content of the canonical gospels. Other sections of the work addressed pagan religion Judaism and Islam. What also distinguished this work in the history of Christian apologetics is its precursor role in anticipating the problems expressed in Eighteenth century Deism and that Grotius represents the first of the practitioners of legal or juridical apologetics in the defence of Christian belief. Hugely popular the book was translated from Latin into English Arabic Persian and Chinese by Edward Pococke for use in missionary work in the East and remained in print until the end of the nineteenth century."Wikipedia. hardcover

Printed on good paper and with wide margins. 48 621 3 pp. frontispiece and portrait; 4 197 3 pp. � The very rare first edition of the first French translation of Grotius' groundbreaking magnum opus "De Jure Belli ac Pacis" the founding work of international law. The profoundly influential masterpiece - written during the Thirty Years' War in the hope that rational human beings might be able to agree to legal limits on war's destruction - "made him famous throughout Europe. the questions which he put forward have come to be the basis of the ultimate view of land and society. This was the first attempt to lay down a principle of right and a basis for society and government outside Church or Scripture. Grotius's principle of an immutable law which God can no more alter than a mathematical axiom was the first expression of the "droit naturel" the natural law which exercised the great political theorists of the eighteenth century and is the foundation of modern international law." PMM 125. <br><br>This magnum opus of legal philosophy played a tremendous role in French law and politics and in the entire development of international law in general. <br><br>"It is on the DIB De Iure Bellis that the bulk of Grotius' reputation rests. It consists of an introduction and three books totaling more than 900 pages in translation. As with DIP the introduction or "Prolegomena" holds the greatest interest for philosophers for it is here that Grotius articulates and defends the philosophical foundations of the DIB. While philosophers are naturally attracted to the "Prolegomena" the body of the DIB is also redolent with themes of philosophical interest. Book One defines the concept of war argues for the legitimacy of war and identifies who may legitimately wage war. Book Two deals with the causes of war the origins of property the transfer of rights and more while Book Three is dedicated primarily to the rightful conduct of belligerents in war. After the initial publication in 1625 Grotius ushered several more editions to press during his life each time adding more references without substantially changing the arguments." SEP.<br><br>Living in the times of the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Netherlands and the Thirty Years' War between Catholic and Protestant European nations Catholic France being in the otherwise Protestant camp Grotius was deeply concerned with matters of conflicts between nations and religions. His magnum opus was a monumental effort to restrain such conflicts on the basis of a broad moral consensus. It was begun in prison and published during his exile in Paris. <br><br>"In the dedication of his great work "De Jure Belli ac Pacis" to Louis XIII of France Grotius addresses the king as "everywhere known by the name Just no less than that of Louis . Just when you call back to life laws that are on the verge of burial and with all your strength set yourself against the trend of an age which is rushing headlong to destruction; . when you offer no violence to souls that hold views different from your own in matter of religion; . when by the exercise of your authority you lighten the burden of oppressed peoples."<br><br>When writing this dedication and the Prolegomena to "De Jure Belli ac Pacis" originally published in Paris in 1625 Grotius was living in exile. Europe was war-torn and depression and suffering from hunger and cold prevailed in many regions justifying Grotius' description of international law as such: "in our day as in former times there is no lack of men who view this branch of law with contempt as having no reality outside of an empty name." The treaty of peace embodying many of the universal and permanent principles which Grotius abstracted "from every particular fact" in those dark days of the early part of the Thirty Years' War was not concluded till 23 years later. The year 1624 was in the negotiation of the treaty assumed to be the norm year for restoration of the "Status quo".<br><br>The more than three centuries since Grotius wrote his magnum opus seem to bear witness to his views upon war peace in spite of the fact that many a state has not yet realized that the state is "Truly fortunate which has justice for its own boundary line." In 1625 Grotius famously stated: "there is no state so powerful that it may not sometime need the help of others outside itself either for the purposes of trade or even ward off the forces of many foreign nations united against it."<br><br>Grotius's paramount influence upon international law is widely acknowledged worldwide. For instance since 1999 the American Society of International Law holds an annual series of Grotius Lectures. Because of his theological underpinning of free trade he is also considered an "economic theologist".<br><br>"To those desirous of understanding the fundamental principles which have motivated some of the greatest statesmen of modern time and the bases upon which a state which is to remain essentially sound must rest a reading of Grotius' Prolegomena to the "Law of War and Peace" is commended."
