Considered one of the finest lawyers in Spain, his work, \u003ci\u003eDe Indiarum Jure\u003c\/i\u003e, was the most sophisticated defense of the Spanish conquest of the Americas ever written, and he was widely cited in Europe and the Americas until the early nineteenth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis work, and that of the Spanish School of international law theorists generally, is often seen as leading to Hugo Grotius and modern international law. However, as James Muldoon shows, the \u003ci\u003eDe Indiarum Jure\u003c\/i\u003e represents the fullest development of a medieval Catholic theory of international order that provided an alternative to the Grotian theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Muldoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812232455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Muldoon is Professor of History Emeritus at Rutgers University, Camden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40163146530931,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_79a22b4a-3d19-46e3-951d-26963c98f7ad.jpg?v=1655043080","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-americas-in-the-spanish-world-order-the-justification-for-conquest-in-the-seventeenth-century-9780812232455","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
