Book Overview

Juris Gentium (1680) is a book written by Johann Wolfgang Textor, a German legal scholar and professor. The book is a comprehensive treatise on the law of nations, also known as international law. It covers a wide range of topics, including the definition and scope of international law, the sources of international law, the rights and duties of states, the law of war and peace, diplomacy, treaties, and the settlement of disputes between states. Textor's work is considered a landmark in the development of international law, as it was one of the first comprehensive treatises on the subject. It was widely read and influential in its time, and its ideas continue to shape modern international law. The book is written in Latin, which was the language of international scholarship at the time, but it has been translated into several languages. Overall, Juris Gentium (1680) is a seminal work on international law that provides a valuable historical perspective on the development of this important field of law. It remains relevant today as a source of insight and inspiration for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in international law and its role in shaping the world order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
