Über den Autor
Robert Feenstra (1920) was professor of Roman law at Leiden University from 1952 to 1985. He has been engaged in Grotian studies for more than forty years. He was president of the Grotius Committee of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in the 1980s, a period which included the quadricentenary of Grotius' birth in 1983. On that occasion he started work on a new critical edition of De jure belli ac pacis, which finally appeared in 1993 and served as a model for the present edition of Mare liberum. Jeroen Vervliet (1960) studied history and law at the University of Amsterdam and is currently Director of the Peace Palace Library in The Hague, which preserves a world-famous collection of works by Hugo Grotius.
