Hispanicae Advocationis Libri Dvo

Alberico Gentili's classic treatise on international law in the Iberian world is a fundamental text in the study of global legal history. First published in 1584, the book presents a detailed analysis of the legal relationships between Spain, Portugal, and other European powers, as well as with the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The Carnegie Endowment's edition of the Latin text, with an English translation, provides a fresh and accessible reading of this enduring work. Scholars of international law, colonialism, and the history of the Spanish Empire will find much to engage them in Hispanicae Advocationis Libri Dvo.
