First writ, beginning 'Edwardus dei gracia...', is dated 'Teste me ipso apud Westm. viij. die Octobris anno regni nostri duo decimo'. The statutes, in which script and decoration are the same as in the Registrum, are on fols. 105-64; the last is 'de attinctis' of 14 Edward II, 1321, so the date of the first writ in the Registrum must be 12 Edward II, 1318.
On the back pastedown is 'Iste liber est (s.xiv ex), the name not being recoverable by ultraviolet light.
Thomas Hearne: “Tho. Hearne, Aug. 23, 1707.”
