The Middle Temple is one of four Inns of Court in London, responsible for the education and accommodation of barristers. There is no printed catalogue of its manuscripts, and this microfiche publication makes available a number of important volumes which have rarely or never been consulted by scholars. By way of departure from the previous stages of the Project, which comprised selections from much larger libraries, this stage includes all the legal manuscripts held by the Middle Temple and is therefore wider in scope. The earliest items are a thirteenth-century Bracton and a Registrum Brevium given by Elias Ashmole in 1677, and an early-fifteeenth-century volume of Statuta Nova. Later treatises include Lord Nottingham’s Prolegomena and an early version of Bathurst’s Nisi Prius which belonged to its editor, Francis Buller. Editor: Prof. Dr. J.H. Baker, Cambridge University Please visit this collection at Brill.com for price information.
