De Officio Hominis Et Civis Juxta Legem Naturalem Libri Duo, Two Volumes in One: A Reproduction of the Latin Edition of 1682 and the English Translati

"Any man must, inasmuch as he can, cultivate and maintain toward others a peaceable sociality that is consistent with the native character and end of humankind in general." -Samuel von Pufendorf, The Two Books on the Duty of Man and Citizen According to the Natural Law (1927) De Officio Hominis Et Civis Juxta Legem Naturalem Libri Duo (Two Volumes in One) (1927), originally published in 1673, is a replica of the 1927 edition and contains both the original Latin text, which is a reproduction of the 1682 edition, and the English translation by Frank Gardner Moore. Volumes I-in Latin-and II-in English-are also available from Cosimo Classics. Samuel von Pufendorf's study of Grotius and Hobbes led him to synthesize their ideas into his own. Recommended by John Locke as a text that should be included in law curricula, this is a must-have for legal scholars and those intrigued by the history of law.
