Juris Gentium (1680) is a legal treatise written by Johann Wolfgang Textor, a German jurist and professor of law. The book is written in Latin and is considered one of the most important works on international law from the 17th century. The book is divided into three parts.

The second part covers the laws of war and peace, including the rules of warfare, the treatment of prisoners of war, and the negotiation of treaties. The third part deals with the laws of commerce and navigation, including the regulation of trade, the rights of merchants, and the laws of piracy.Throughout the book, Textor emphasizes the importance of natural law and reason in the development of international law. He argues that nations have a duty to act justly and to respect the rights of other nations, and that international law should be based on principles of fairness and equity.Juris Gentium was widely read and influential in its time, and its ideas helped shape the development of international law in the centuries that followed.
