Description
This is a biography of Gerard Noodt, the 17th century Dutch jurist who was also an exponent of the Dutch Elegant School which flourished between 1670 and 1730 and had a leading position in the development of civil law scholarship in Europe. Noodt's rectorial addresses on sovereignty of the people (1699) and on freedom of religion (1706), both of which were immediately translated into French and English, ensured for him an important place in early Enlightenment thought, particularly in the field of political theory and human rights. His work is regarded as important not only to our understanding of the development of legal science in Europe between the Middle Ages and the 19th century, but also for the value to Roman law scholars today. In this book, the author analyzes the scholarly aspects of Noodt's work and also places his life and work into the social and political context of his time.
