The sole edition of the first published work of antiquary and historian Thomas Madox (16661727); a classified collection of English charters and feudal documents from 1066 to 1547, principally selected from the archives of the court of augmentation. The work was immediately lauded by Madox's contemporaries. The dissertation that prefaces the charters is widely regarded as the first full discussion of the palaeography of English legal instruments.
