Word Choice
This article reads like somebody copied it from somewhere and used a thesaurus on all the words. Or translated it or something. I'm not familiar enough the subject to do much stylistic work, for fear of screwing up the content.NickelShoe 04:48, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure where to post a general comment on this page, but it needs to be fixed. The article should start with a brief description of who von Pufendorf was and what about his life was significant. It jumps in in media res, and is not well-written.

English Titles
This entry would benefit from the English titles alongside the original tile captions. The Grotius entry does this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.26.106.9 (talk) 20:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Blindsided
This isn't my subject area in the least, but I tried to correct two cases where the reader was blindsided with no context provided for the magnitude of the spat attested (his clerical feuds raged despite his largely traditional beliefs; and his views had much in common with Leibniz, but went about justifying things in a different and shallower way—both of these points are made in the Döring citation.) Stylistically, my hacks leave a lot to be desired. &mdash; MaxEnt 05:36, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Elementa jurisprudentiae universalis 1661 or 1660?
"At Leiden, he was permitted to publish, in 1661, the fruits of his reflections under the title of Elementa jurisprudentiae universalis libri duo". I think Elementa was published in 1660: see Encyclopedia Britannica, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and Thomas Behme's Introduction to the 2006 Libert Fund ed. Therefore I am now editing the text, new ref. 1660. --Gitz6666 (talk) 01:29, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
