The Inns of Chancery 1340-1640: With an Edition of the surviving Statutes and Orders

The ten or so Inns of Chancery were all founded in the century after 1340, and for some 300 years were a part of the so-called third university of England'. Their names are mostly still familiar as London place-names, though few of their buildings are still standing.

Most that has been written about them relates to their later history when they had largely ceased to be involved in legal education. Recent research in manuscript sources has revealed more information about their earlier history than was previously available, although their origins - like those of the inns of court - remain tantalisingly obscure.

This volume sets out what is known about the inns of chancery in their heyday as schools of law, and includes texts of all the surviving written regulations by which they were governed, some of which have only recently come to light.

The volume also includes 24 pages of illustrated plates.
