Grotius and India (1954)
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the work of two European writers who made outstanding contributions to the formation of the law of nations: Franciscus de Vitoria, professor at the University of Salamanca (1480–1546) and Hugo Grotius (1533–1645). Grotius has been hitherto considered the father of the law of nations but this accolade seems to have shifted to Vitoria: pater semper est incertus. The first of Grotius’ main works which kept his paternity alive is Mare Liberum. However, Mare Liberum, if compared with Vitoria’s De Indis Noviter Inventis, reveals itself as a transposition of legal arguments of the Spanish school from the case of America versus Spain to the case of Asia versus Portugal.
