Description
Staunford, William. Les Plees del Coron, Divisees in Plusors Titles and Common Lieux [bound with] An Exposition of the Kings Prerogative Collected out of the Great Abridgement of Iustice Fitzherbert, and Other Old Writers of the Lawes of England. London: In AEdibus Richardi Totteli, 1583.
Les Plees del Coron, a treatise based largely on Bracton and the Year Books, presents the first cohesive overview of English criminal law. While lacking somewhat in clarity and style, it enjoyed an impressive reputation. William Staunford (1509–1558) included appropriate legal authority for each premise, a first in a textbook, and profoundly shaped subsequent works. This copy is bound with An Exposition of the King's Prerogative, in which Staunford systematically examines and explains the Statute de Prerogativa.
