About This Item
Frederic William Maitland (1850-1906) was a well-respected jurist and historian particularly known for his works on English legal history. His most notable work, co-written with Sir Frederick Pollock, was the two volume work entitled The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I (1985).
This particular work of his studies the influences of Roman canon la in England, both on the Church of England and its ecclesiastical courts. The six essays in the work are:
1) William Lyndwood
2) Church, State, and Decretals
3) William of Drogheda and the Universal Ordinary
4) Henry II and the Criminous Clerks
5) "Execrabilis" in the Common Pleas
6) The Deacon and the Jewess.
This copy is in fair condition. The most significant damage is to the fabric covering the spine which has disconnected from the front board. The front board is loose as a result but does not seem in any danger of coming off if handled with care.
The binding appears to be otherwise tight.
There is bumping and wear to the corners and edges of the boards.
A former owner's name is written on the front pastedown.
A newspaper article on Canon Law has been stuck to both sides of the back flyleaf which has stained the facing page and the pastedown. However, the text on the facing page, which is part of the index, is still perfectly legible.
The book is accompanied by three pages of hand written notes, which appear to be on the contents of the text.
