Andrew Horn

Andrew Horn (c. 1275–1328) was a fishmonger of Bridge Street, London, lawyer and legal scholar.

[2][3] Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England describe Horn as "one of the most learned lawyers of his day".

Besides coroners' reports and other mundane matters, Liber Horn contains some of the earliest and most reliable versions of early English laws, including certain Statutes of uncertain date and an annotated copy of Magna Carta of 1297.

[9] As a legal scholar, Andrew Horn's literary achievements consisted largely of compiling, editing, transcribing, and annotating statutes, pipe rolls, chronicles, and other official documents.

This has resulted in a problem of attribution, since it is not always clear to what extent he acted as author or editor.
