- Description

Summary: CCCC MS 70 contains a number of Anglo-Saxon, Norman and Plantagenet legal tracts, including the text of the Quadripartitus and the Leges Henrici Primi. It was written by or for Andrew Horn (c. 1275-1328) in the first quarter of the fourteenth century, probably to serve as a private compilation of precedents able to inform any discussions of the customs of the City of London. It is one of the manuscripts that Horn, a prominent City fishmonger and Chamberlain of London (1320-28), bequeathed to the London Guildhall and was at one time almost certainly bound up with the material that is now contained in CCCC MS 258. This provenance is neatly established by the presence within the manuscript of a drawing of a fish accompanied by the words 'Horn mihi cognomen Andreas est mihi nomen'.
