Lansdowne MS 564/6

6. Aliud registrum Brevium, sive registrum Cancellariæ. p. 47. On these two registers of ancient writs some learned owner of the volume has, on a spare leaf at the beginning, made the following remarks: "In the first register are conteyned writts of the end of H. III. and beginning of E. I. which I have not found in any other register, this being the antientest I have seen any where extant." And again, "The register of writts, which begins fo. 47, though it be of a latter date than the register that precedes it, yet seemes to me to be as antient as the time of E. I.; for it agrees exactly with Bracton, 1, 5. c. 2. fo. 328. of writts of right, as also with Hengham Magna, e. i. Vide etiam fo. 58 b, ubi fit mentio H. Regis patris nostri." But if the learned owner had given a little more attention to the latter register, he would also have found some writs issued by Hen. III. which render it, so far at least as regards the materials of which it is constructed, coeval with the other. See particularly fo. 76 b.
