Description

Explore the foundational roots of legal theory with The Unseen History of International Law by Oxford University Press. This scholarly work meticulously locates and describes nearly one thousand surviving copies of the first nine editions of Hugo Grotius' De iure belli ac pacis (IBP), published between 1625 and 1650. By reconstructing the publishing history of these early editions and cataloging copies across hundreds of collections, the book provides essential data to understand the impact of IBP across different eras and locations. The text also examines thousands of reader annotations left in these copies over four centuries, offering original insights into how readers engaged with the development of international law. This is a vital resource for historians and legal scholars seeking to understand the historical reach and reception of Grotius' work.
