The manuscripts which form Bracton's Note Book were discovered in the British Museum in 1884 by Vinogradoff, and were edited in three volumes in 1887 by Maitland. These volumes contain a collection of over 2,000 lawsuits from the thirteenth century, each with a description of how the law should be applied to the particular circumstances of each case. This is the first example of case law in English legal writing, and its usefulness as a record of legal precedent probably led to the creation of Year Rolls (official records of court cases) from 1268. Volume 1, 'Apparatus', introduces the texts and gives an account of Bracton's life.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Table of contents\u003cbr\u003e Errata\u003cbr\u003e Vinogradoff's letter to the Athenaeum\u003cbr\u003e Note on the classification of the Plea Rolls\u003cbr\u003e List of MSS. of Bracton's Treatise to which reference has been made\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Tables\u003cbr\u003e Indices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20history:%20c%20500%20to%20c%201450\/1500%20%5BHBLC%5D%22\"\u003eHBLC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913259999512,"sku":"9781108010290","price":32.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108010290i_2ec27ac9-ee3d-4608-82d5-9dcec00958d0.jpg?v=1694866712","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bracton-s-note-book-a-collection-of-cases-decided-in-the-king-s-courts-during-the-reign-of-henry-the-third-paperback-9781108010290","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
