First published in 1585, Dyer's Ascuns Novel Cases, generally known as Dyer's Reports, contain cases heard in the Courts of Common Pleas, King's Bench, Exchequer and Chancery from 1513 to 1582. One of the first publications of its kind, it was also the first to be referred to regularly as "Reports." A work of great authority (second only to that of the Year Books), it went through six editions in Law-French, the last one in 1688. The annotations to our copy, most in a single early hand, are primarily case citations and references to other reporters with a few brief glosses. English Short-Title Catalogue S4209.
