| Grotius, Hugo. Remonstrantie nopende de ordre dije in de landen van Hollandt en Westvrieslandt dijent gestelt op de Joden.
Holland, ca. 1615. Hs. op papier.
Hugo de Groot, also know as Grotius, was a legal expert and one of the
most important humanist thinkers of the Dutch Republic. He is considered
to be one of the fathers of international law, making important
contributions through his work on maritime and martial law. In his work
'De lure Belli ac Pacis', Grotius shows repeated interest in the 'Mishneh
Tora' of the great jewish scholar Maimonides.
The copy shown here is from his personal effects and contains notes in his
hand. The document is a draft for the legal framework by which Jews would
be allowed to settle in the Dutch Republic. Grotius wrote it written wilst
he was secretary of the Provinces of Holland and West-Friesland, but it
was never actually made into Law by the Dutch parliament. |
