Fleta
''Fleta'' is a treatise, written in Latin, with the sub-title seu Commentarius juris Anglicani, on the common law of England. The anonymous author of the book is sometimes referred to as "Fleta", although this is not in fact a person's name.〔''Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 1889.〕 The book acquired its common title because its preface contains a remark that it could be called "''Fleta''" as it was written in "Fleta": however, the meaning of this comment is unclear (see Authorship below).
From internal evidence, the work appears to have been written in the reign of Edward I, and to have been completed shortly after the year 1290.〔Sayles 1984, pp. xii–xiv.〕
==Authority==
This book is one of those listed by Blackstone as being authoritative statements of the law at the time at which they were written.〔William Blackstone, ''Commentaries on the Laws of England'', Book I, page 72 (1791 Ed. )〕 Edward Coke cites Fleta as authority in his ''Institutes'' in a number of places.〔Search of the PDF copies on Google Book Search on 11 March 2009〕
The article on ''Fleta'' in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition'' says that it "is for the most part a poor imitation of" ''De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae'' by Henry de Bracton. O. Hood Phillips described it as an "epitome of" that book.〔''A First Book of English Law'', Sweet and Maxwell, 4th Ed, 1960, p. 188, footnote 12〕 G. O. Sayles was able to show that the author of ''Fleta'' had a copy of Bracton to hand, but that (like other copies) it was defective in places, and that he was obliged to make many additions and improvements of his own.〔Sayles 1984, pp. xiv–xviii.〕 The ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' describes ''Fleta'' as "updating and abridging" Bracton.〔Seipp 2004.〕
