Hand-Painted Glanvill 1697 (English Law)

The Tractatus de legibus et consuetudinibus regni Angliae, commonly known as Glanvill, is the earliest treatise on English law. Attributed to Ranulf de Glanvill (d. 1190) and dated from 1187 to 1189, it was groundbreaking in its structured organization that established legal procedures and introduced writs, and many elements that remain relevant in contemporary law. It holds significant authority in the realm of English common law. This is a 1697 printing with a new bright and beautiful hand-painted modern binding. A beautiful one-of-a-kind piece of history that could belong to you!
