Ioannis Seldeni Ad Fletam Dissertatio
"Ioannis Seldeni Ad Fletam Dissertatio" is a landmark of legal scholarship that explores the origins and development of English law. Written by the polymathic jurist John Selden, the work serves as a critical commentary on the anonymous 13th-century legal treatise known as "Fleta". Selden uses this dissertation to investigate the influence of Roman law in Britain and to trace the evolution of the English common law system from the medieval period onward.
The work is distinguished by Selden's immense erudition and his pioneering use of historical methodology to analyze legal precedents and statutes. It provides invaluable insights into the transition of legal thought and the formation of the British constitution. This edition, which includes scholarly commentary by David Ogg, presents Selden's arguments with clarity, making it an essential text for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the intellectual history of jurisprudence. By examining the roots of legal authority and the survival of ancient traditions within the English system, "Ioannis Seldeni Ad Fletam Dissertatio" remains a vital contribution to the study of legal history and philology.
