All Imperial Edicts (Religious Legal Instruments)

Edicts issued by emperors that set the status of a religion, such as the Edict of Milan, the Edict of Serdica, the Edict of Thessalonica, the Edicts of Ashoka and the Ottoman Hatt-i Humayun of 1856. An entry belongs here when its article presents a decree by an emperor. The group page lists texts of the same legal kind together so that a reader can compare how religious authority and state power are put into writing.
