Christopher Saint German (c. 1460-1540/41) was a member of the Middle Temple in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.[1] Born in 1460, Saint German was known for his scholarship and piety.[2] As an author, he is best known for his work Doctor and Student, chiefly released in 1528.[3] Initially, the piece was completely in Latin, however the language changed in later versions.[4]

Inscription, table of contents.

Doctor and Student proposed to “explore the relationship between the principles of English law and conscience.”[5] The format was a dialogue between a “Student of the English common law” and a “Doctor of Theology,” in which they discussed the common law. The objectives of this work have been described as providing a description of the substantive law, discussing the tension between the common law and that of the church, and to delve into “the role of conscience and equity in law, both in the court of Chancery and the common law itself.”[6]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Both Dean's Memo[7] and the Brown Bibliography[8] suggest Wythe owned the sixteenth (1761) edition of this title based on notes in John Marshall's commonplace book.[9] The Wolf Law Library purchased a copy of the sixteenth edition.

Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy

Bound in recent period-style quarter calf over marbled boards with raised bands and lettering piece to the spine and endpapers renewed. Contains early owner signatures to the head of the title page and Table of Contents. Purchased from the Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.
