First published in Law French in 1482, Littleton's work was the earliest printed treatise on English law not printed in Latin. It incorporated some material from the Old tenures and "sums up the development of what was then the most important branch of the common law". --cf. Oxford companion to law.

The 1st translation from Law French into English (STC 15759.5) was published by John Rastell [1523-1525]
