This is a English translation of Rolle's Abridgment des Plusiers Cases et Resolutions del Common Ley (1668), up to the letter "E," with substantial editorial additions and the addition of later cases by D'Anvers. (Despite later supplements, he never completed his work on this book.) The third, and last, abridgment to contain Year Book cases, Rolle's Abridgment was consulted and cited as frequently as those of Fitzherbert and Brooke. More important, as Holdsworth notes, it marked "a new departure in the literature of abridgments" because it was better organized and included summaries of Parliamentary records and statutes. Surpassing its predecessors as a digest of the whole law, it became a model for future abridgments, including those of Hughes, Nelson and Viner. Holdsworth, A History of English Law V:376-377.
