Russian Law and Legal Institutions (Studies in Russian & East European Law Series)

From the Celebrated Four-language Edition of the Nakaz. Clark: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 2010. x, [11]-531 pp.  A major document of the Enlightenment, the Nakaz, or Instruction, composed by Catherine the Great served to guide the assembly summoned in 1766 to draft a new code of laws for the Russian Empire. Drawn from Montesquieu, Rousseau, and other Enlightenment thinkers, the Nakaz condemned torture and capital punishment and endorsed such principles as the equality of all before the law. Published in the principal European tongues, it proved to be a statement to the world as much as a practical legal text. The present edition contains the Russian, French, German, Latin, and two contemporary English translations, biographical notes, and a bibliography.  William E. Butler is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Vinogradoff Institute at the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law and Emeritus Professor of Comparative Law at University College London; Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.  Vladimir A. Tomsinov is the Head of the Chair of the History of State and Law, Moscow Lomonosov State University.

The Nakaz of Catherine the Great: Collected Texts.

<p>Uncommon English translation of De Jure Belli ac Pacis Translated by Campbell. Originally published: Pontefract, UK: Printed by B. Boothroyd, and sold by F. and C. Rivington, 1814. Three volumes. xxiv (v-xxiv new introduction), xxxv, 368; [iv], 352; [vi], 420 pp. With a new introduction The Campbell Translation of Hugo Grotius (1814) by William E. Butler, John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law, Pennsylvania State University. First published at Paris in Latin (1625), The Rights of War and Peace laid the foundations of the modern system of public international law. Grotius addresses situations in which war is a legitimate instrument of law enforcement and outlines principles for the lawful use of armed force. Based on a Christian understanding of natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid even if a divine basis were lacking. He pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This fourth (or fifth) English translation (1814) is by Archibald Colin Campbell (1763-1842). The first English translation, by C. Barksdale, was published in 1654 and reissued the following year. The second, by W. Evats, was published in 1682. The 1715 edition was translated and edited by John Morrice (1685 1740) with the assistance of Edward Littlehales (1690 1724) and John Spavan (1685 1718), and reissued with the Notes of Jean Barbeyrac in 1738Based on a Christian understanding of natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid even if a divine basis were lacking.
