The start date of 1665 is legally significant, marking the promulgation of the Lex Regia (Kongeloven), which established the absolute monarchy in Denmark and initiated the modern era of Danish statutory law. This set serves as a vital record of the transition from absolute royal decrees to modern parliamentary statutes. The accompanying 1931 volume represents the first annual supplement continuing this monumental historical record.
