Publications (browse EETS titles at OUP)
The Original Series began in 1864 and continues to the present. In 1867 an Extra Series was started, of texts already printed but not in satisfactory or readily obtainable editions. In 1921 the Extra Series was discontinued and all publications were subsequently listed and numbered as part of the Original Series. In 1970 the Supplementary Series was initiated: volumes in this series are issued only occasionally and as suitable texts become available.
New volumes are published on behalf of the Society by the Oxford University Press, which also holds the backlist dating back to 1864. Most titles are now available by digital print-on-demand from the website of Oxford University Press.

369 Liber armorum and The Blasyng of Armys Ed. Richard Moll
2026
The first critical edition of the two heraldic treatises in The Boke of Saint Albans, first printed in 1486 — the first English heraldic treatises in print, of major and lasting influence on heraldic culture. The Liber armorum traces the history of gentility to Noah before dissecting gentle identity; The Blasyng of Armys is a practical guide to armoury. The text is based on the 1486 Saint Albans edition, collated against Wynkyn de Worde’s 1496 edition.
368 Caxton’s Golden Legend, Volume 3: The Sanctorale Part I Ed. John Scahill and Satoko Tokunaga
2026 · ISBN 9780197935002
The third volume of the first scholarly edition of the Golden Legend (1483–4), the largest and most elaborate production by the first printer in English, William Caxton — an English version of the Legenda aurea of Jacobus de Voragine. This volume presents the first half of the final, largest section of the work, the Sanctorale, with modern punctuation and capitalization, and is of particular interest for including quires that survive in two settings, casting light on practices and conditions in early printing.

Back-list
The Society’s publications date back to 1864, and most are currently in print or, increasingly, available by print-on-demand. The Society will not reprint its facsimiles of manuscripts, as they have been superseded by digital facsimiles, although stocks remain of many. The back-list comprises the Original Series (numbers 1–ongoing), the Supplementary Series (numbers 1–25) and the Extra Series (numbers 1–126).
