A religious refugee and Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) lived in difficult times of religious wars and political persecution. He discussed issues that were topical in his lifetime and remain so today, including the clash of civilizations, the conduct of war, and the maintenance of peace. His idealism and political pragmatism constitute the principal reasons for the continued interest in his work. Gentili's work is important for historical record, but also for better analysing and critically assessing the origins of international law and its current developments, as well as for elaborating its future trajectories".Legal history library.Studies in the history of international law ;Volume 14.Legal history library ;Volume 37.341Vadi Valentina722053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793922503321War and peace3847396UNINA
