Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient legal handwriting, known as "Court Hand," a script widely used in England from the 13th to the 18th centuries. The author, a practicing lawyer at the time, argues that despite the introduction of English language pleadings, the ability to read old deeds and legal documents written in Court Hand remains crucial for lawyers, historians, and anyone with a stake in understanding historical land ownership and legal precedent. The bookââ â¢s aim is to provide a comprehensive guide to deciphering Court Hand. The author tackles this challenge by presenting detailed explanations of common abbreviations and contractions, accompanied by numerous examples drawn from manuscripts in their possession. The author emphasizes the importance of consulting original records over secondary sources, arguing that even renowned historical works like Camden's Britannia and Dugdale's Baronage were rejected as evidence in court due to the risk of transcription errors. The book, therefore, stands as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to unlock the secrets of ancient legal documents, whether they are legal professionals, historians, or genealogists. The author's passionate plea for preserving this knowledge underscores the enduring significance of understanding historical legal practices and the records that document them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332943265_0

ISBN-13: 9781616196899; ISBN-10: 1616196890. Preferred Edition of a Rosetta Stone for Early English Legal Documents Wright, Andrew. Martin, Charles, Trice, Editor. Court-Hand Restored or, The Student's Assistant in Reading Old Deeds, Charters, Records, Etc. Neatly Engraved., Describing the Old Law Hands, With Their Contractions and Abbreviations. With an Appendix Containing the Ancient Names of Places in Great Britain and Ireland; An Alphabetical Table of Ancient Surnames; and a Glossography of Latin Words Found in the Works of the Most Eminent Lawyers, and Other Ancient Writings, But Not in Any Modern Dictionaries. Originally published: London: Reeves and Turner, 1879. xviii, 99 pp. Thirty plates. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775492. ISBN-10: 1584775491. Paperback. New. $16.95 * By 1776, the year Wright published the first edition of Court-Hand Restored, the written conventions of early English legal documents, which had been taught for generations, were becoming esoteric. Concerned that younger lawyers would be unable to understand the work of their predecessors, Wright intended his work to be a kind of Rosetta stone. Long a standard work, this reference went through ten editions by 1912. It remains an indispensable guide when consulting early charters, deeds or records. The ninth edition, the source of our reprint, is preferred because it is the last issued with engraved plates (rather than the photostat plates used in the otherwise-identical tenth edition).
