Unimpeded Sailing
A Critical Edition of Johann Gröningâs Navigatio Libera (Extended 1698 Edition)
Series: - Brill's Studies in Maritime History, Volume: 6
The original Latin text of Johann Gröningâs Navigatio libera has never before been translated into any modern vernacular language. Gröningâs intention was to set out the position of neutral nations (in this case the Danes and Swedes), and their right to pursue trade during the wars of the great maritime powers (particularly the English and the Dutch). It specifically sought to engage with and refute the work of Hugo Grotius while taking cognisance of the critique of Gröningâs work by Samuel Pufendorf. The text serves as a bridge between 17th-century polemical discourse surrounding the âfree seaâ versus âenclosed seaâ debate and later 18th-century legal literature on the rights of neutrals and the continuation of free trade in time of war.
