Notes: The Nova statuta contain the English legal statutes beginning with the reign of Edward III (ruled 1327-1377). In this manuscript, the statutes end in the third year of the reign of Henry VII (ruled 1485-1509), thus dating the manuscript around 1488, although pages were left blank at the end of the manuscript for the addition of future statutes. This page begins the statutes of Edward IV. The border decoration was done by a different artist than the other borders in the manuscript.
