Description: Please note we do not work weekends. All offers, questions, or concerns may not be answered until Monday. Please understand this means you may need to resubmit your offer Sunday evening. Thank you for supporting our libraries and have a great weekend. This richly detailed study examines the English criminal trial and the nature and scope of the most prevalent felonies during the period c. 1300-1550. There is particular emphasis on the accusation process (studied in depth here for the first time, showing how it was, in effect, a trial within a trial); the discovery of a veritable revolution in conviction rates between the early fifteenth century and the later sixteenth (why this revolution occurred is explained in detail); the nature and scope of the most prevalent types of felony in the period; and the startling contrast between the conviction rate and the frequency of actual punishment. All proceeds benefit the Libraries of Pima County. Please review all photos. This listing has been donated. Please note that the listing is for what you see in the listing.
