The thirteenth-century Latin legal treatise best known as Bracton
is now thought to be the work of several hands, and Henry de
Bracton (d.1268) to have been only the last of these. 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of Bracton, Twiss's work has been criticised and since superseded.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 2 contains the end of Book 2 and the whole of Book 3. These
cover the classification of actions, the general eyre, criminal law
and the action of replevin.
