Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of legal doctrine concerning Spain's maritime dealings in the early modern period illuminated by historical examples, presents arguments put forward by Alberico Gentili in the legal cases he undertook. These arguments are augmented by his brother's edition and notes. It grapples with maritime rights and private international law, which Gentili discusses not in the abstract, but as they affect real people. These case studies reveal the legal procedures and ever-changing laws of armed conflict, illuminating how governments and courts wrestled with new dilemmas arising from the clashes between nations in an era marked by expansion and warfare. Gentili sought to use the universal language of law to resolve conflicts between his Spanish clients and others in England, including the Dutch, leading to many landmark precedents. Through Gentili's work, the reader gains insights into an era when international law was emergent and whose grappling with the place of postliminium, the conditions of capture, and the very nature of property captured in wartime continue to resonate today.
