Rectitudines singularum personarum (Rect)
This text is a manual of estate management and was probably put together at Bath abbey or at least implemented on a property in that area. It survives in a single twelfth-century manuscript and its transmission is closely related to that of Gerefa. It was translated into Latin c.1100: see Quadripartitus.
For Early English Laws, the text of the Rectitudines singularum personarum has been newly edited alongside Gerefa.
