About the Author

ALBERICO GENTILI (1552-1608) was born and educated in Italy, immigrating during the Inquisition to England where his Protestant views were more accepted. He received his Doctor of Civil Law degree from Oxford University and became a professor there. His extensive knowledge and writing led to his esteem as a father of international law.
