Official proclamations (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'official proclamations' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Official orders from authorities" , "Official orders or proclamations" , "Proclamation" , "Official orders issued by authority" , "'Decrees, orders (6)'" .)
