SUMMARY:
Professor Daniel R. Coquillette speaks to the staff of the Boston College Law Library about a collection of seventeenth-century law books, including many that he donated to the law library's rare book collection. These books were likely to have been owned and used by a seventeenth-century practicing common lawyer - not necessarily a "typical" lawyer's library, but rather the library of a particularly wealthy and learned practitioner.
