“Not to know certain things is a great part of wisdom.”

 – Hugo Grotius

Hugo Grotius was an early 17^th-century Dutch jurist who is most remembered for his contributions to the foundation of international and natural law. He also made provided groundwork in Arminianism and is considered and ‘economic theologist’. In addition to his most famous work ‘De Jure Belli’, Grotius published an important historical account of the Dutch Low Countries – ‘Annals and Histories of the Low Countries’. This work includes reports and commentary on the Dutch East and West India Trade companies as well as a 17^th-century perspective on trade in the Americas.

Sabin notes the importance of this work:

“important for the history of the events which impeded the execution of Usselinex’s plan to form the East- and West-India Companies, from 1591-1609.”
