The early ownership inscription flanking the second word of the title on the title-page may well be that of John Shepheard (1659-1716), who was High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1699 according to several historical sources, including Charles Herbert Mayo's Genealogical Account of the Mayo and Elton Families of the Counties of Wilts and Hereford (1882). The work by an anonymous author describes the practice of the courts, the forms of writs and an explanation of law terms as they existed during the reign of Edward I. Selden brought this ancient treatise to the public's attention and was instrumental in its publication. While Bracton earns the highest praise as the father of legal learning, Fleta earns a share of it for the illustrations he offered to some of the obscurities found in Bracton. Selden's appended dissertation (pp.453-553) contains many interesting observations about Bracton, Britton, Fl. London: M.F. Prostant Apud Guil. Lee & Dan Pakeman (illustrator).…

A late seventeenth century printing of an anonymous medieval legal treatise which explained many terms extant during the reign of Edward I, at the end of the 1200s - unknown to seventeenth century historians - and elucidated many of the terms recorded in Bracton but little understood. Championed and edited by John Selden, (1584-1664), early scholar of jurisprudence and Jewish Law, this second edition is superior to the first of 1647, with many corrections. ESTC R37347, Wing F1291. Size: Quarto. …

2 parts in 1 volume. Corrected edition of one of the most important sources of British law, offering a detailed account of medieval legal practice. The work describes the operation of the courts, the forms of writs, and the interpretation of legal terminology during the reign of Edward I of England. The work was edited by John Selden (1585-1654), but authored by an anonymous author who is sometimes referred to as "Fleta". However, this was not a personal name, but a title derived from the work's preface, which notes that it was written in Fleet Prison.It was John Selden who brought this ancient treatise to the public's attention with the first printed edition in 1647, and his substantial appended dissertation (pp. 453-553), which offers rich commentary on Bracton, Britton, Fleta, and related works. It also provides a compelling examination of the influence of Roman (Imperial) law in England-tracing its introduction, application, duration, and eventual decline within the royal courts at Westminster. While Bracton is rightly celebrated as a foundational figure in the development of English legal thought, Fleta deserves recognition for clarifying and illustrating complex aspects of its predecessor's work.With the bookplate of John Evelyn (1620-1706) mounted on the front pastedown. The boards and spine are slightly scratched, the front joint is somewhat weakened, but the structural integrity of the binding is still intact.
