New. $27.95 * Originally written in Latin in 1523, this work contains two dialogues between a doctor of divinity and a student of English law. It popularized canonist learning on the nature and object of law, the religious and moral standards of law, the foundations of the common law and issues regarding the jurisdiction of Parliament. A very important work in the development of equity, Doctor and Student appeared in numerous editions. An authority well into the eighteenth century, it influenced several legal writers, including Blackstone. ". . . surely the most remarkable book relating to English law published in the Tudor period, and quite unlike any book to have come from the pen of an English lawyer before."-- Dictionary of National Biography XVII:616 CHRISTOPHER SAINT GERMAIN [c.1460-1540] was a legal writer and controversialist who wrote on a variety of topics. His noteworthy works include A Treatise Concernynge the Dilusion Betwene the Spiritualtie and Temporaltie (1532) and Salem and Bizance (1533). Also a notable bibliophile, his library exceeded that of any other lawyer of his time. Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection of New York University (1953) 38.

The volume is paginated as follows: [2], 366, [8] p. The volume collates as follows: A - Z8, 2A4. Anonymous. By Christopher Saint German. The first dialogue was originally published in 1528 as Dialogus de fundamentis legum Anglie et de conscientia (STC 21559) and adapted and translated into English as: Dyaloge in Englysshe bytwyxt a doctoure of dyvynyte and a student in the lawes of Englande (STC 21561). A second dialogue was published in 1530 (STC 21565). ESTC R13538 Wing S318A. Bound in fine 19th C Half Calf, with marbled boards. The spine in six blind stamped compartments with five blind ruled raised bands. A red lettering piece in the second compartment from the top, very neatly done. The binding in near fine condition. Internally the leaves are generally free of stains or foxing, but with the top headings sometimes shaved. The volume measures 13.8 x 9.3 x 2.2 cm. Each leaf measures 132 x 89 mm. Christopher St. Germain (14601540) was an English lawyer, legal writer, and Protestant polemicist. In 1528, St. Germain published his first book, Dialogus de fundamentis legum Anglie et de conscientia, known as The Doctor and Student after the titles of the two interlocutors, a doctor of divinity and a student of the laws of England, a barrister. The book is a study of the relationship between the English common law and conscience. It was the first study of the role of equity in English law, and set the terms for later discussions. An English translation, probably done by St. Germain himself, appeared in 1530 or 1531. A second dialogue appeared in English in 1530, along with additional chapters referred to as the New Addicions. Although Doctor and Student was written as a discussion of conscience and law, its enduring popularity into the 19th century was a result of its clear introduction to common law concepts. Until Blackstone published his Commentaries on the Laws of England in 1765-69, it was used as a student primer.
