 In 1673 Pufendorf published On the Duty of Man and Citizen According to Natural Law (DO 1673), a short compendium based on DJN that guaranteed him a place in university curricula for a century. Moreover, a collection of his dissertations from both the Heidelberg and Lund periods appeared in 1675 as Select Academic Dissertations (DAS). That year also saw the appearance of a lengthy political tract (Discussion of Certain Writers of Brandenburg [Discussio, in KVS 1995e, pp. 235–336]) justifying Sweden’s entry into the Dutch War (1672–1678) on the side of France, particularly its unprovoked attack (1674) on Brandenburg. This war also occasioned a Danish invasion of Scania, including Lund, and even though the young Charles XI (1655–1697) defeated the invaders, the university remained closed for years. So Pufendorf moved to Stockholm (1677), assuming the duties of royal Swedish historiographer and, later, privy councillor and private secretary (1682) to the dowager queen, Hedwig Eleonora. He continued to cultivate his relations with the Swedish ruling class, wrote additional political opinions (including Dissertation on the Alliances between Sweden and France [Occas. 1680, in KVS, pp. 337–385]; see Saunders 2009), and began the laborious archival work that underlay his large histories of Sweden (Gust. Ad., C. Gust.). These accounts focused mainly on external, international affairs. However, Pufendorf’s detailed knowledge of internal Swedish politics is evident in Les anecdotes de Suède (Pufendorf 1719), which was written during Sweden’s turn toward royal absolutism in the 1680s (the Reduktion). That piece has sometimes been attributed to Esaias, though there is an autograph in Samuel’s hand (Döring 2012, p. 199, n. 58).
