«The editor has done a very good job in publishing an English translation along with the Latin text. These are preceded by a very detailed, extremely useful 'Critical Introduction', dealing with life and works of Grotius before giving a clear account of the hist. of the MS and its contents... There is no need to recommend this pb. more specially; it is just excellent.» (Kn, Archive for Reformation History)
