The Freedom of the Seas (Mare Liberum)
Muslims of the Holy Land, invoked as historical analogy regarding denial of access and papal authority.
Nec ullus titulus Christianis quondam in Saracenos magis placuit, quam quod per illos terrae Iudaeae aditu arcerentur.
Vnde sequitur ex sententia Caietani et Victoriae et potioris partis tam Theologorum quam Canonistarum, non esse idoneum titulum adversus Indos, vel quia Papa dederit provincias illas tamquam dominus absolute, vel quia non recognoscunt dominium Papae; atque adeo ne Saracenos quidem isto titulo umquam spoliatos.
When in days gone by the Christians made crusades against the Saracens, no other pretext was so welcome or so plausible as that they were denied by the infidels free access to the Holy Land.
