Baker and Milsom's Sources of English Legal History is the definitive source book on the development of English private law.

This new edition has been comprehensively revised and udpated to incorporate new sources discovered since the original publication in 1986, and to reflect developments in recent scholarship.

All the sources included are translated into modern English, offering an accessible inroad to the leading primary materials for students of the history of the common law.

Their significance in shaping the
