Legal historians at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, researching a census bibliography of the first nine editions of De iure belli ac pacis (1625-1650), hope to publish their results in 2025, the 400th anniversary of the book’s first appearance. Although they have located and examined hundreds of copies to date, they ask the help of LHB readers to identify even more.
Below is a series of links corresponding to the publication year (and, for the two 1632 editions, publishers) of the nine editions. They ask any LHB who owns or knows of one these copies of De iure belli ac pacis to complete the corresponding questionnaire.
