Selden, John (1584–1654), English jurist, orientalist, and legal historian, born in Sussex, and educated at Hart Hall, Oxford. He became an eminent lawyer and bencher of the Inner Temple. He won fame as an orientalist with his treatise
De Diis Syriis (1617), and subsequently made a valuable collection of oriental manuscripts, most of which passed at his death to the Bodleian Library. His
Table Talk (1689) contains reports of his utterances during the last 20 years of his life, composed by his secretary Richard Milward. His works include
Marmora Arundelliana (1628),
Mare Clausum (1635), translated by
Nedham, in which he maintained against the
Mare Liberum of Grotius that the sea is capable of sovereignty, and
Illustrations to the first 18 ‘songs’ of Drayton's
Poly-Olbion.
