Fleta

Fleta is a treatise, written in Latin, with the sub-title seu Commentarius juris Anglicani, on the common law of England. The anonymous author of the book is sometimes referred to as "Fleta", although this is not in fact a person's name. The book acquired the title "Fleta" because its preface contains a remark that it could be called "Fleta" as it was written in "Fleta".

It appears, from internal evidence, to have been written in the reign of Edward I, about the year 1290.
