Abstract
Abstract This article discusses London's Inns of Court libraries during the period between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. These were important examples of Renaissance, Stuart, and Georgian libraries, and they provided legal students and lawyers with a range of literature (continental and English) in addition to legal texts. The Inns were also important legal institutions, which provided the gentry with a third option to Cambridge and Oxford, and the course and nature of this education is examined. Lastly, as the Inns were situated in the midst of the print trade, the article also discusses the relationship that existed between the lawyers and printers and booksellers. This relationship impacted on both the course of legal publication and the library collections.
