Probably compiled early in the reign of Edward III, Novae narrationes deals with plaintiffs' statements of claim. This work illustrates forms to be used when presenting cases in court and included some defences. The list of writs on which pleadings are given is similar to those annotated in the old Natura brevium --cf. E. Shanks, Novae Narrationes (Selden Society) and Oxford companion to law.
