War and Peace by Valentina Vadi
This treatise investigates the emergence of the early modern law of nations, focusing on Alberico Gentili's contribution to the same. A religious refugee and Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) lived in difficult times of religious wars and political persecution. He discussed issues that were topical in his lifetime and remain so today, including the clash of civilizations, the conduct of war, and the maintenance of peace. His idealism and political pragmatism constitute the principal reasons for the continued interest in his work. Gentili's work is important for historical record, but also for better analysing and critically assessing the origins of international law and its current developments, as well as for elaborating its future trajectories.-

“Alberico Gentili (1552–1608), the Italian exile religionis causa who became Regius Professor of Civil Law in Elizabethan Oxford, is a complex, polyvalent figureThis emerges clearly from the ambitious and important monograph penned by Valentina Vadi, appropriately added to the already well-established Brill series, Studies in the History of International Law….War and Peace will surely become a solid work of reference for those interested in one of the key thinkers of the history of international thought.” -Alberto Clerici, in Grotiana, 43 (2022), 273-308.
“Vadi’s study engages with an impressive range of scholarship, and she thoughtfully weighs competing interpretations….she succeeds in providing a comprehensive study of Gentili’s elaborate thought.” -Peter Schröder, in Journal of the History of International Law, 23 (2021), 631-640
“The book is an excellent read, analytically rigorous and methodologically refined. It provides a great addition to international legal history. Among its many benefits, the book makes a summary and analysis of Gentili’s works written in Latin accessible, which are otherwise inaccessible to non-Latin speakers.” -Samuel Berhanu Woldemariam, in the Australian Yearbook of International Law, 39 (2022), 321-327
