The Natura brevium is a selection of writs, with commentary, based on the Registrum brevium or Register of writs, dating from the reign of Edward III. The first printed edition of Natura brevium was published in 1494 by Richard Pynson. After Sir Anthony Fitzherbert published his New Natura brevium in 1534, it was referred to as the Old Natura brevium.
