Modus tenendi parliamentu[m] apud Anglos

Two works concerning governance and law bound together. The first work is the first book of Henry Elsynge's treatise on parliamentary procedure, despite the caption title's assertion that the work is "in two bookes" (f. 2r). The treatise comprises eight chapters addressing summons, appearance, locus et modus sedendi, Parliament days, proxies, summonitionis causa, prolocutor domus communis, and receivers and triers of petitions. The second work is a treatise on nobility in English law and custom in six chapters, addressing topics such as the creation of titles, the inheritance of titles, laws concerning nobles in trials, the privileges of nobility, and the cessation or loss of nobility.
