1964. [International Law]. Textor, Johann Wolfgang [1638-1701]. Synopsis of the Law of Nations. Edited by Ludwig von Bar. Translation by John Pawley Bate. New York: Oceana Publications, [Reprinted 1964]. Volume two. [26], v, 349 pp. Cloth. Light shelfwear. Internally clean. $75. * Originally published in 1916, volume two contains the translation of Textor's Synopsis Juris Gentium (1680). Little known to the English-speaking world, "[o]ne can have no two opinions of the importance of the work. It forms, as it were, an antidote to the writers of the school of natural law of which Pufendorf is so eminent a protagonist. Textor...occupies an important place among the writers of the positive school." Marke 582. The translation in volume two is self-sufficient and a very useful text despite the lack of volume one.
