The Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici ('Diplomatic Code of the Saxon Age') was a collection of documents from the Anglo-Saxon period preserved in manuscripts held by various libraries in England assembled by John Mitchel Kemble. Published in six volumes between 1839 and 1848, it was the first collected edition of the surviving corpus of Anglo-Saxon charters.
It formed the basis for later works such as the Cartularium Saxonicum and Sawyer's "Anglo-Saxon Charters: an Annotated List and Bibliography".
