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 eighth year of the reign of Edward IV (ruled 1461-1483), although pages were left blank at the end of the manuscript for the addition of future statutes. The page shown here begins the list of statutes enacted by Henry IV (ruled 1399-1413).
