The four books of Coke's Institutes are considered the first textbooks on modern common law. They are virtually a legal encyclopedia. The importance of this work is indicated by its inclusion in Printing and the Mind of Man, which notes: "[if] Bracton first began the codification of the common law, it was Coke who completed it. In the Institutes (.) the tradition of the common law from Bracton to Littleton, whose name Coke's commentary made famous, firmly established itself as the basis of the constitution of the Realm." Refined by later editors, Hargrave and Butler's edition became the standard version of this landmark work. Printing and the Mind of Man (citing first edition) 126.
