Symbolaeographia, a work in in four books, was first printed in 1590 by Richard Tottel (STC 25267). It was revised in two parts, "Symbolaeography ... the first part" (STC 25267.5) in 1592, and "The second part of symboleography" (STC 25276.3) in 1593. Both parts were subsequently issued, separately, in numerous later editions.

"The first printed systematic treatise on the writing of legal instruments, including not only precedents in conveyancing but also of indictments and proceedings in chancery ... drawing upon civilian and continental scholarship." --Oxford DNB.
