The edition of this manuscript produced by Sir Travers Twiss (1809–97) between 1871 and 1876 filled only part of one of four volumes. The remaining content ranges from the late thirteenth-century borough custumal of Ipswich and other later medieval general custumals from south-west France, to a variety of different codes of maritime law also from south-west France, Catalonia, southern Italy, the Baltic and the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. Volume 1 contains the text of the Black Book, along with other materials relating to the office of admiral and to the admiralty court from late medieval France and England, as well as two late medieval English ordinances of war.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e List of manuscripts\u003cbr\u003e Table of subjects\u003cbr\u003e Old rules for the Lord Admiral\u003cbr\u003e Instructions for the Lord Admiral in time of war\u003cbr\u003e Rules and orders about admiralty matters\u003cbr\u003e Laws of Oleron\u003cbr\u003e Inquisition of Queenborow\u003cbr\u003e Ordo judiciorum\u003cbr\u003e De officio admiralitatis\u003cbr\u003e Admiralty of John Holland, Duke of Exeter\u003cbr\u003e Ordinances of war\u003cbr\u003e Wager of battle\u003cbr\u003e De materia duelli\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: admiralty of Sir Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter\u003cbr\u003e Ordinance of Philippe de Valois for the expedition against England\u003cbr\u003e Ordinance of Charles V on the jurisdiction of the admiral\u003cbr\u003e Rights and privileges of the admirals of France\u003cbr\u003e Ordinances of war.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913238241560,"sku":"9781108048910","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048910i_7ace98c5-a360-4d7a-af99-e370ef6fe8b0.jpg?v=1696746777","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-black-book-of-the-admiralty-with-an-appendix-paperback-9781108048910","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
