Legatura coeva in piena pergamena. Edizione completa in 10 volumi di quest'opera di diritto naturale di area germanica di cui Pufendorf divenne il massimo esponente nel corso della seconda meta' del Seicento. Il diritto naturale di Pufendorf era incentrato sullo Stato. Condivideva l'individualismo delle teorie di Hobbes e di Locke nella misura in cui lo Stato era considerato l'unione di singoli individui che rinunciano alla liberta' dello stato di natura per difendersi l'uno dall'altro. Ma, risentendo dell'influenza dello stoicismo, Pufendorf metteva in risalto la natura sociale dell'uomo molto piu' dei suoi colleghi inglesi. È vero che l'uomo ha…

Text slightly browned, minor occasional spotting, but generally crisp and clean. Provenance: Sir John Williams of Bodlewyddan (armorial bookpalte to front pastedown). Very good copy. ---- First Amsterdam edition of ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL WORKS OF NATURAL LAW, first published in Lund where Pufendorf (1632-1694), who came from Saxony and had left his war-torn land, took up a professorship of Natural Law in 1670. In De jure naturae Pufendorf built on the ideas of Grotius and defends the idea that the state is a union of individuals who give their individual consent, and that international law is truly international. "It is a complete system of public, private and international law. Against Hobbes's view he contended that the state of nature was one of peace, not war, and he urged the view that international law . . . existed between all nations . . . [a work] of great importance" (David Walker, The Oxford Companion to Law). - Visit our website for additional images and information.

Description:
1672. Londini Scanorum (Lund), Adami Junghaus - Vitus Haberegger, 1672. 4to. Contemporary or slightly later full mottled calf five raised bands to richly gilt spine. Edges of boards gilt. Very neat restorations to corners and hinges, barely noticeable. Blank front free end-paper with a few restorations. A mostly faint damp stain inner margin of first section of leaves. Some brownspotting. Title-page printed in red/black. (20), 1227,(9) pp. Scarce first edition of Pufendorf's magnum opus, one of the fundamental works of natural law. In this milestone work of political and legal thought, Pufendorf presents his system of universal law, which profoundly revised the natural law theories of Hobbes and Grotius. In his teaching, that the will of the state is but the sum of the individual wills that constitute it, he shows himself a precursor of Rousseau and of the "Social Contract"."It is a complete system of public, private and international law. Against Hobbes's view he contended that the state of nature…

Description:
1672. Londini Scanorum (Lund), Adami Junghaus - Vitus Haberegger, 1672. 4to. Contemporary full calf with double blindstamped borders to boards. Spine restored and hinges weak. Otherwise very nice. Title-page dusty and with a little weakness in the paper, presumably from a removed book-plate on the blank part of verso. Last secion of leaves with some light worming to upper blank margin, far from affecting text. All in all a very nice and clean copy with unusually good margins. Old owner's name to top of title-page.
