Abstract
"This volume must be deemed to have reached due maturity even by the venerable standards of the Society's cellars. A collection of early moots was first proposed by professor Thorne in 1949, as an appendix to his edition of early readings. Parts of the French text of the Inner temple discussions in MS. Harley 1691 and MS. Hargrave 87 were set in galley proof in 1951, but the decision was made to split the volume into two and to expand the collection of moots. Volume I (readings) was published in 1954. Ten years ago Professor Thorne entrusted volume 2 to me, and much of that time has been spent looking at manuscripts. Among the new finds were a number of moot books and collections of set problems which, somewhat to our surprise, carried the history of mooting back to the time of Edward III and even established a link with the law teaching of the thirteenth century." - Preface
