Work began on it in the 1230s and largely ceased in the early 1250s, but the treatise - an ambitious survey of English law - was never finished. Between 1878 and 1883, the scholar and jurist Sir Travers Twiss (1809–97) edited and published this work in six volumes for the Rolls Series. His text was mainly based on the first printed edition of 1569. Although he provided the first English translation of Bracton, Twiss's work has been criticised and since superseded. Volume 1 contains Book 1 and most of Book 2. These include the general introduction, the law of persons and most of the law of things.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e List of manuscripts collated or referred to\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the edition of 1569\u003cbr\u003e Table of contents of chapters\u003cbr\u003e On the division of things - Book I\u003cbr\u003e On acquiring the dominion of things, Book II, as far as Chapter XXXVI\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\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":46266097598744,"sku":"9781108051651","price":60.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108051651i_1c7d559b-408f-4115-b415-c02ea39884fa.jpg?v=1696747078","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/de-legibus-et-consuetudinibus-angliae-libri-quinque-in-varios-tractatus-distincti-paperback-9781108051651","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
