  1. Widely cited as Ashe's Law of Obligations and Conditions owing to a flourished "T.A." on the title page, most legal bibliographies list the author as "J.A.", as signed on page A4, at the end of the introductory "Epistle." The books listed in the Table of Pleadings were printed five or six decades after Thomas Ashe's death in 1618.
