Early English Laws
Early English Laws is a project to publish online and in print new editions and translations of all English legal codes, edicts, and treatises produced up to the time of Magna Carta 1215. The research questions, problems, context, and method driving the project are discussed in Project Description. It is supported by a collaboration between the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at Kings College London. The AHRC has provided initial funding for the first three years of the project (2009–2011).
