3 A Topos in Hugo Grotius: "Etiamsi daremus non esse Deum" PAOLA NEGRO Hugo Grotius's prolific production - 122 extant first editions, representing fifty years' work' - has over the last three centuries been remembered mainly on account of one treatise, the De iure belli ac pacis, probably written between 1622 and 1624, during the early years of the Dutch philosopher's exile in Paris, where it was published in 1625.z It is principally cited as the founding text for the modern concept of natural law, chiefly on the basis of the statement in the Prolegomena ( 1 1 ) to the three books: Et haec quidem quae iam diximus (that natural law conforms to the determining premise of human nature, based on self-evident principles), locum haberent etiamsi daremus, quod sine summo scelere dari nequit, non esse Deum, aut non curari ab eo negotia humana.3 I Grotius (1583-1645) was 62 when he died. His first works were published in 1595, when he was 12: the epithnlamium Georgio Melisso et Mariae Alrnondicwae versus ehi- thalamÜ. Lugduni Batavorum, Apud-Franciscum Raphelengium.
