{"product_id":"9783825355159","title":"A Middle English Statute-Book Part I: 'Statuta Antiqua'. Edited from Oxford, Bodleian Library, Rawlinson MS B 520","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatute-books have been described as one of the most popular forms of secular literature in medieval England, and are the commonest form of medieval legal literature still extant. The statute-books all differ as to the choice and ordering of their contents, which generally include not only a selection of the statutes, but also a variety of related legal material aimed at explaining and illustrating them. The unedited Rawlinson MS B 520 is just such a compilation. Dating from the early years of the fourteenth century, it is the only known ME version of a medieval statute-book containing the 'statuta antiqua', that is, legislation dating from Magna Carta to the end of Edward II's reign. Some 200 Latin and Anglo-Norman versions of these statute-books are still extant, but the most recent edition of almost all of the statutes goes back to 1810. This two-volume edition of Rawlinson MS B 520 will include statutes, memoranda and mnemonic notes (ff. lr - 54v) in Vol. I, tracts (ff. 54v - 97r) in Vol. II.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universitatsverlag Winter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042237726960,"sku":"9783825355159","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783825355159_p0.jpg?v=1763685784","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783825355159","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
