The Black Book of the Admiralty is a late medieval Old French
manuscript containing a variety of documents relating to the
administrative and legal responsibilities of the office of the lord
high admiral, with later additions relating to the court of
chivalry and the laws of war. The edition of this manuscript
produced by Sir Travers Twiss (1809-97) between 1871 and 1876
filled only part of one of four volumes. The remaining content
ranges from the late thirteenth-century borough custumal of Ipswich
and other later medieval general custumals from south-west France,
to a variety of different codes of maritime law also from
south-west France, Catalonia, southern Italy, the Baltic and the
crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. Volume 1 contains the text of the
Black Book, along with other materials relating to the office of
admiral and to the admiralty court from late medieval France and
England, as well as two late medieval English ordinances of war.
