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 a 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 2 contains the custumal of the borough of Ipswich and late medieval coutumiers of the town of Royan and the commune of Oleron in south-west France, as well as collections of maritime legal customs also associated with Oleron.\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 Le domesday de Gippewyz\u003cbr\u003e Les costumes d'Oleron et deu Jutgamen de la Mar\u003cbr\u003e Les bons usages et les bonnes costumes et les bons jugemenz de la commune d'Oleron\u003cbr\u003e Li establimens de la comune de Roan\u003cbr\u003e La manière comment les maistres des navires et marchans, et autres mariniers compaignons se doivent regire et gouverner par le jugement de la mer et Roolle d'Olayron.\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":46266088751384,"sku":"9781108048927","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048927i.jpg?v=1696746848","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-black-book-of-the-admiralty-with-an-appendix-paperback-9781108048927","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
