The essays range from the twelfth century to the nineteenth, considering courts (central and local), the professions (both common law and civilian), legal doctrine, learning, practice, and language, and the cataloguing of legal manuscripts. The sources addressed include court records, reports of litigation (in print and in manuscript), abridgements, fee books and accounts, conveyances and legal images. The volume advances understanding of the history of the common law and its sources, and by bringing together essays on a range of topics, approaches and periods, underlines the richness of material available for the study of the history of English law and indicates avenues for future research"-- |c Provided by publisher UR - https://www-cambridge-org.proxy.library.nd.edu/core/books/english-legal-history-and-its-sources/2D5643C719AF21D27EBA5219BF0AD608 ER -
