Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1540-1549: (extracts and abstracts, probably also from other collections of Practicks) .

Still written by the same scribe as before. Leaves numbered as pag. 1-14. No mention of authors.. Only some items at the beginning are dated: they were extracted from Sinclair's Practicks, in full length. Many old Scots spellings are preserved. This fact suggests that the collector used a model MS close to Sinclair's life time. From the middle of page 77r onward, however, the extracts become very short, and they are no longer dated. I deem that now the collector only copied headings of items. Congruent in part to headings in MS Edinburgh, UL, Laing III.429, fol. 1r-64r
