As Holdsworth notes, the importance of the Parliament Rolls was so great during the seventeenth century that "transcripts were made for private use, and published by private enterprise." He adds that the most important of these was produced by Prynne. It is based on a manuscript that is now attributed to William and Robert Bowyer. It records the substance of Acts of Parliament and other particulars, that are not extant in print, among the statutes or the Parliament Rolls, and supplies the purpose of a useful index to the Rolls of Parliament. It was reissued in 1679 and 1689. Holdsworth, A History of English Law II:423. English Short-Title Catalogue R1629.…
