Summary
Four hundred years ago, this work presented a description of the mutual legal relationship of peoples and states, which is regarded as a milestone in the history of international law. This is the first time that a Latin-German edition of Grotius's major work has been published. The sources used by Grotius are documented in a detailed appendix.
