Annotations in Fleta seu commentarius juris Anglicani..., [circa 1730-1735].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702201647

Extensive autograph annotations by Sir Thomas Clarke in the first Earl of Macclesfield's copy of the second edition of Fleta seu commentarius juris Anglicani sic nuncupatus, sub Edwardo rege primo seu circa annos abhinc CCCXL, ab anonymo conscriptus, atque è codice veteri, autore ipso aliquantulùm recentiori, nunc primùm typis editus (Londini : Typis S.R. prostant apud H. Twyford, T. Bassett, J. Place, & S. Keble ..., 1685). The annotations document Clarke's editorial collation of this copy with the 1647 first edition. Almost every page contains numerous marginal annotations and text block underlinings tracking textual differences. In addition, more extensive textual notes are written on laid-in sheets marked with the page number to which they refer. A small number of annotations are in the hand of the original owner, Thomas Parker, first Earl of Macclesfield (of the second creation).

1 v. (circa 550 annotated p.) ; 23 cm.

Sir Thomas Clarke (1704-1764) graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1724 and was called to the bar in 1729. Clarke was commissioned to collate the Earl of Macclesfield's copy of Fleta with the first edition; he published a third edition himself, anonymously, in 1735. He served as a member of Parliament from 1747 to 1761, and was appointed Master of the Rolls in 1754.
