On-line Bracton

On-line Edition of Bracton’s
De legibus et consuetudines Angliae

The Ames Foundation, with the assistance of the Harvard Law School library, has recently completed the creation of an on-line version of the thirteenth-century text by English jurist Bracton, De legibus et consuetudines Angliae, in Latin and English translation. The on-line text is based on George Woodbine’s edition of the original and Samuel Thorne’s translation and is fully searchable, using a range of criteria including section heading, tractate, folio number, page number and key words (boolean searches). It can be accessed at:

This on-line version of Bracton’s De legibus will be the first in a series of on-line publications in English legal history.
