This volume honours the work and writings of Professor Sir John Baker over the past fifty years, presenting a collection of essays by leading scholars on topics relating to the sources of English legal history, the study of which Sir John has so much advanced. 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.

Recenzii

'The results speak for themselves: the papers collected here, ranging from the 12th to the 19th century, draw upon extensive new archival work, and will be of interest to a readership well beyond the ranks of the specialist legal historians … The inherent interest of the essays gathered here aside, scholars everywhere will be grateful to those among the contributors who have generously made sets of data available to others as appendices to their essays.' Hannes Kleineke, Parliamentary History
