La Bibliothèque du Palais de la Paix de La Haye détient l’une des plus importantes collections mondiales des œuvres de Hugo Grotius. Près de l’endroit où il a été arrêté en 1618, il continue de s’adresser à la communauté juridique internationale. Sa réputation de “Père fondateur du droit international” résonne dans la Cour internationale de justice dans les affaires relatives au droit de la mer, lorsque l’on cite son “Mare liberum” (1609).
Il a écrit à Paris son principal ouvrage “De iure belli ac pacis” (1625), dont la Bibliothèque a récemment acquis une première édition originale.

A booklet by Henk Nellen on the acquisition of the first edition of De Iure belli ac pacis, by Hugo Grotius by the Peace Palace Library. It is an adapted version of a speech held in the Peace Palace on 21 February 2011, when the copy of De iure belli ac pacis was presented to the public. After a short survey of the genesis, printing history and early reception, the booklet goes into the differences between the three states of the first edition and their significance for the interpretation of Grotius’s work. In November 2010, the Peace Palace Library acquired a copy of Hugo Grotius’s seminal study on the law of war, De iure belli ac pacis, Paris, Nicolas Buon, 1625. The purchase represents the very rare first state (issue or printing) of the first edition, item no. 565, I in the well-known bibliography of Grotius’s works by Jacob Ter Meulen and P.J.J. Diermanse. These well-known Grotius bibliographers identified three states in the first edition. They concluded that the first edition consists of three groups of copies, to be distinguished according to changes that were made during the print run. Of those three states the Peace Palace Library purchased a copy that represents the first state. This is an almost unique or at least a very rare copy, because among the books that have been identified as copies of the 1625 edition, only the copy previously owned by the English scholar John Selden (1584-1654) and now preserved in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, and another copy in the University Library of Salzburg are representatives of this state. The acquisition of this great work was made possible with the support of several funds.

Despite its significant influence on international law, international relations, natural law and political thought in general, Grotius’s Law of War and Peace has been virtually unavailable for many decades. Stephen Neff’s edited and annotated version of the text rectifies this situation. Containing the substantive portion of the classic text, but shorn of extraneous material, this edited and annotated edition of one of the classic works of Western legal and political thought is intended for students and teachers in four primary areas: history of international law, history of political thought, history of international relations and history of philosophy.

Standard bibliography of the printed works of Hugo Grotius, compiled by a former Director of the Peace Palace Library and his assistant.
ter Meulen, J., P.J.Diermanse, 1950
Grotiana appears under the auspices of the Grotiana Foundation. The journal’s leading objective is the furtherance of the Grotian tradition. It will welcome any relevant contribution to a better understanding of Grotius’ life and works. At the same time close attention will be paid to Grotius’ relevance for present-day thinking about world problems. Grotiana therefore intends to be a forum for exchanges concerning the philosophical, ethical and legal fundamentals of the search for an international order.

Butler, C., 2007
In 1604-1605 Hugo Grotius wrote De iure praedae, a commentary on the law of booty and prize and a first step towards the Law of War and Peace of twenty years later. Not published in his own times, rediscovered in 1864, and subsequently published, it has been over-interpreted and under-studied.
