The Leges Henrici Primi is a collection of Anglo-Saxon laws of various kinds dating from the early 12th century, and therefore compiled before the common law began its great progress. Although supposedly the laws in force during the reign of Henry I, as a treatise on the current legal system, the Leges are incomplete and defective, but do follow a theme of royal jurisdiction. The Latin text is presented here with facing English translation, detailed commentary and an introduction placing the text in historical context.

Trachiniae or Women of Trachis is the tragedy of Deianeira's innocent and ill-fated attempt to win back her husband, Heracles, after he has sacked the city of Oechalia and fallen in love with the daughter of the defeated king. This edition presents the Greek text with Davies' thought-provoking introduction, which discusses topics such as the treatment of the hero Heracles and the story's pre-Sophoclean tradition, and an extensive commentary covering textual problems and wider issues of interpretation. (1991).
