Fleta

Fleta

:"For the moth genus, see "Fleta (moth).

"Fleta" is a treatise, with the sub-title "seu Commentarius juris Anglicani", on the common law of England.

It appears, from internal evidence, to have been written in the reign of Edward I, about the year 1290. It is for the most part a poor imitation of Bracton.

The author is supposed to have written it during his confinement in the Fleet prison, hence the name. It has been conjectured that he was one of those judges who were imprisoned for malpractices by Edward I. Fleta was first printed by John Selden in 1647, with a dissertation (2nd edition, 1685).
