About This Item
London: ¶ Londini in ædibus Richardi Tottelli. [Richard Tottell] Anno Domini. 1580. [colophon:] [fleuron] Imprinted at London in Fletestrete within Temple Barre, at the signe of the Hand and Starre, by Rychard Tottel, the xvi. day of March. ¶ Anno domini a verbo nato. 1580., 1580. 3rd Edition . Leather. Very Good. Description: Sm. folio (11 × 8 in): [46], cccxxvi l. Early calf. · Register: 2º: ^[pi]A^4 A-H^4 ¶^4 ¶¶^6 ²A-4L^4 4M^6 (in this copy, the gatherings signed '¶' and '¶¶' are bound after the preliminary matter). · Condition: Rebacked, front joint cracked, cords secure. Numerous early marginal annotations. · Comments: First printed around 1514 from a manuscript now lost, the book of assizes is unique among the year books for reporting cases on circuit in the country, rather than those argued at the bar in Westminster. In addition to reprinting Rastell's preface to the first edition, this edition includes several tables and a table showing the assize circuits and justices for 23 Eliz. (1581), doubtless because Rastell's edition contained a similar table for 5 H.8 (1514). An inscription on the title-page shows the date of purchase (28 September Aº Eliz. 23, i.e. 1580.) and the price paid. There are manuscript notes in an early hand on nearly every page, many of them extensive. · References: Devereux, A Bibliography of John Rastell 88-90; Beale R51; ESTC S121396; STC 9601.
In this edition, the verso of leaf [pi]4 lists the assize circuits and justices for 23 Eliz. (1581).
