Originally composed in Latin in 1523 and structured as a dialectic exchange, Doctor and Student holds a monumental place in legal history as the first systematic study of the role of equity within the English common law. It is widely considered the earliest true work of English jurisprudence. The text goes far beyond mere legal mechanics, exploring the relative merits and boundaries of common, canon, and civil law, the fundamental nature, objective, and moral/religious standards of law, and the underlying pillars of common law and the early legal jurisdictions of Parliament. Doctor and Student remained a primary authority well into the eighteenth century. It served as a foundational text for generations of English lawyers and heavily influenced major legal writers, most notably Sir William Blackstone in the drafting of his seminal Commentaries on the Laws of England. This 1673 printing, produced during the Restoration period by the prominent assigns of Richard and Edward Atkyns, represents a vital link in the evolution of Anglo-American equity and legal theory.
