About This Item
London: Grays Inne Esquire, 1646. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 5.5" by 3". None. A first English language edition, translated from the French work of medieval lawyer, Andrew Horn. First thus, first English version. A handsome example of this early volume of legal writing. Mirrour of Justice is seen as a vigorous criticism of law administration, including Anglo Saxon laws and canon law. Andrew Horn was a London lawyer and legal scholar, serving as Chamberlain of London City from 1320-1328. He was in charge of the civic archives in the rein of Edward II. Collated: Lacking final page of index. In a quarter morocco binding. Externally, very smart. Tear to one front free-end paper with signatures of previous owners. Handwritten note explaining the history of the volume inside front board. Worming to top of some pages. Internally, firmly bound with heavy age toning throughout. Bound without final page of index. Very Good
