Liberty Fund’s edition of The Free Sea is the only translation of Grotius’s masterpiece undertaken in his own lifetime, left in manuscript by the English historian, Richard Hakluyt (1552–1616). It also contains William Welwod’s critique of Grotius (reprinted for the first time since the seventeenth century) and Grotius’s reply to Welwod. These documents provide an indispensable introduction to modern ideas of sovereignty and property as they emerged from the early-modern tradition of natural law.
Hugo Grotius (1583–1645) was a lawyer and legal theorist, diplomat and political philosopher, ecumenical activist and theologian.
David Armitage is the Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History at Harvard University.

Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Gut. XXV, 145 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The freedom of the seas - meaning both the oceans of the world and coastal waters - has been among the most contentious issues in international law for the past four hundred years. The most influential argument in favor of freedom of navigation, trade, and fishing was that put forth by the Dutch theorist Hugo Grotius in his 1609 Mare Liberum (The Free Sea). -- The Free Sea was originally published in order to buttress Dutch claims of access to the lucrative markets of the East Indies. It had been composed as the twelfth chapter of a larger work, De Jure Praedae (On the Law of Prize and Booty), which Grotius had written to defend the Dutch East India Company s capture in 1603 of a rich Portuguese merchant ship in the Straits of Singapore. The wider applicability of Grotius s arguments regarding individual and collective rights to appropriate natural resources and to trade freely would ensure that his work transcended its immediate legal and diplomatic contexts. -- In the Introduction, Professor David Armitage notes that "few works of such brevity can have caused arguments of such global extent and striking longevity . as The Free Sea. It had implications no less for coastal waters than it did for the high seas, for the West Indies as much as for the East Indies, and for intra-European disputes as well as for relations between the European powers and the extraEuropean peoples." -- Liberty Fund publishes for the first time the only translation of Grotius s masterpiece undertaken in his own lifetime - a work left in manuscript by the English historian and promoter of overseas exploration Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616). Also included are William Welwod s critique of Grotius (printed for the first time since the seventeenth century) and Grotius s reply to Welwod. Taken together, these documents provide an indispensable introduction to modern ideas of sovereignty and property as they emerged from the early-modern tradition of natural law.
