DE JURE BELLI AC PACIS LIBRI TRES, IN QUIBUS IUS NATURAE ET GENTIUM, ITEM JURIS PUBLICI PRAECIPUA EXPLICANTUR. CUM ANNOTATIS AUCTORISGrotius, HugoItem #: 61299 Pages: xv, 752 pp. Published: Leiden; A.W. Sijthoff; 1919. Reprinted in 2005. Subjects: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, INTERNATIONAL LAW, RELIGION/THEOLOGY & THE LAW 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. 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. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. Distributed by William S. Hein & Co., Inc. Please contact us to request purchasing information. |
