John Selden was one of the most vicariously learned men in a learned age, second in range perhaps only to Francis Bacon, although perhaps also to a small number of unwise men who combined classical and biblical learning with the exploration of necromancy and other lengthy pseudo-scientific cul-de-sacs.
Selden was one of the greater common lawyers of his time, second in reputation (then and now) only to Sir Edward Coke.
This is a "horizontal" reading of Selden (a study of the mental world he inhabited and of what it was that made him write what and how he did) rather than a vertical one (a study that filters off the dross of the contingent from the residual gold of enduring legacy).

John Selden died in 1654 but the last date associated with the genealogy in the manuscript is the Mixtec year 11 Flint which corresponds to A.D. A date on the cover of the manuscript (2 Flint) may correspond to 1560 (M.E. Smith 1994:122-123).

 Jewish Political Studies Review Abstracts - Volume 6, Numbers 1-2 (Spring 5754/1994)
John Selden, one of seventeenth century England's foremost jurists and legal scholars, wrote many monographs treating the interrelationship between the universe of the Hebrew Bible and that of contemporary Protestant Europe.
Indeed, in defining and in applying the concept of sovereignty to the modern world, Selden relied heavily on the biblical ideal of artificial boundaries and separations in international relations, even locating the very origins of sovereignty in the biblical narrative's affirmation of the principle of boundaries.
The politics surrounding Selden's Mare Clausum, indeed, the entire problem of the law of the high seas and territorial waters, is fundamental not only for establishing Selden's status as an important figure during the founding decades of modern international relations, but for validating the now ignored biblical origins of the modern international political system.
