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 4 contains a fourteenth-century procedural code relating to the maritime court of Valencia and late medieval codes of maritime law from the Mediterranean and the Baltic, as well as a Flemish version of the laws of 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 collated or referred to\u003cbr\u003e Chapters and ordinances of the maritime court of the noble city of Amalphi, commonly called the Amalphitan Table\u003cbr\u003e The Gotland sea-laws\u003cbr\u003e Various readings of The Black Book of the Admiralty\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Anglo-Norman and Gascon words in the Rolls of Oleron etc.\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Catalan words in the Consulate of the Sea\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Saxon or Low-German words in the Gotland sea-laws\u003cbr\u003e The laws of Wisbuy\u003cbr\u003e Code of the Teutonic order of Livonia\u003cbr\u003e The Purple Book of Bruges\u003cbr\u003e The Dantzic ship-laws\u003cbr\u003e Code of maritime law drawn up at Lubeck for the use of the Osterlings, AD 1299\u003cbr\u003e Preamble of the Wisby town-law\u003cbr\u003e The Wisby town-law on shipping\u003cbr\u003e Sea-laws in Flanders\u003cbr\u003e The judicial order of the court of the consuls of the sea at Valencia\u003cbr\u003e Maritime assises of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e Ordinances and customs of the sea published by the consuls of the city of Trani\u003cbr\u003e Index.\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":46266089439512,"sku":"9781108048941","price":53.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048941i.jpg?v=1696746845","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-black-book-of-the-admiralty-with-an-appendix-paperback-9781108048941","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
