Hugo Grotius - De jure Belli ac Pacis - 1735

Hugo Grotius laid the foundation for modern international law and natural law with this work (On the Law of War and Peace). In the 18th century, his texts were revised and corrected by leading jurists to keep them accessible and up to date. This 1735 edition is very complete. It contains not only the three books on the law of war and peace, but is also equipped with the author’s extensive marginal notes (annotatis), commentaries by jurists such as Johannes Fredericus Gronovius and philosopher Jean Barbeyrac, and Grotius’ famous shorter treatises De Mari Libero (On the Free Sea) and De aequitate. The book is divided as follows: - an introduction / ad lectorem / epistola by Hugo Grotius and Joannes Barbeyracius - the table of contents (see photos) - Libri Prima (pp. 1 - 173) - Libri Secundo (pp. 177 - 724) - Libri Tertii (pp. 732 - 1040) - Mare Liberum (pp. 1 - 44) - Index (about 60 pages / unnumbered) The book is complete, unread (with the exception of the text on the flyleaf / see photo) and in excellent condition. It does show some signs of age (stains on a few pages) and minor wear to the leather binding. The binding is original and in good condition.
