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 Appended to this reprint is Robert J. Fruin's valuable essay An Unpublished Work of Hugo Grotius's. Written in 1868 and later republished in English in 1925 it remains the principal study of this work.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

New. $65. Reprint of the first English translation of De Jure Belli ac Pacis 1625. In this momentous work Grotius describes situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines principles for the use of force. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advances the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he points to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. Barksdale's translation the first in English includes an original biographical sketch of Grotius. This edition "is perceived to be part of a larger movement in England aimed partly at setting out an ideological alternative to reformation proposals under discussion and to clarifying the relations between civil and ecclesiastical authority in England" Butler xii.

Butler points out in his introduction to this reprint: "The early English translations of the works of Hugo Grotius on the law of nations are not the product of legal scholars or legal scholarship. We are indebted primarily to theologians for their appearance either because Grotius figured prominently in theological discourse at various periods after his death or because his legal writings were espoused by dons dedicated to the cause of peace who considered the Grotian contributions to the law of nations to be a constructive step in the direction of a more peaceful world community."-- William E.

Of all his numerous works De Jure Belli ac Pacis will always be considered Grotius's magnum opus the work upon which his reputation most solidly rests. "The distinction between religion and law or morality is not clearly made but Grotius' 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" Carter and Muir.

This groundbreaking work was commissioned by the Dutch East India Company to dispute the monopoly on East Indian trade routes claimed by the Portuguese. It argues that the seas are international territory open to all nations thus rejecting the idea that any area of the seas could belong to a country. An instant classic it received a great deal of attention when it was published in 1609. Perhaps the most important reply is John Selden's Mare Clausum 1635 which defends British claims to sovereignty over the coastal waters of the British Isles.

These ideas influenced the American Revolution whose leaders often cited Grotius. This edition features the notes of J. Barbeyrac described by Marvin as desirable. In his research William E. Butler has determined "In the absence of evidence to the contrary on the balance of probabilities it seems plausible that the entire 1738 version including the Barbeyrac notes may be attributed to John Morrice alone inclusive of any adjustments he may have made to the original contributions of his associates to the 1715 version."

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. 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. "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.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. "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."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".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."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"."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."
