Stintzing/Landsberg III/1. VERY RARE SECOND AND ENLARGED EDITION of the first of Pufendorf's three natural-legal works, a program study that already contains the author's entire doctrine. The importance of this work was rapidly realised. Both this Cambridge reprint and the The Hague first edition of 1660 were, for example, in John Locke's library. - Visit our website for additional images and information.
