The history of "Commentary on the Law of Prize and Booty "is
complex. When Grotiuss personal papers were auctioned in The Hague
in 1864, Dutch scholars discovered that his famous Mare Liberum was
just one chapter in a manuscript of 163 folios, written in
justification of Jacob van Heemskercks capture of the Santa
Catarina, a Portuguese merchantman, in the Straits of Singapore in
February 1603. A prominent Dutch historian of the nineteenth
century, Robert Fruin, persuaded the classical scholar H. G.
Hamaker to transcribe and publish it, and the Latin text was issued
in 1868. This Liberty Fund edition is based on the one prepared by
Gwladys L. Williams and Walter H. Zeydel for the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace. It combines a revised text and new
material, making it a highly attractive edition of a work that is
difficult to obtain.
