Manuscripta juridica

Ius proprium Scotiae - Treatise "Minor practicks" .

Old foliation in ink 1-15, counting from what is today regarded as the end of the volume towards the middle. The scribe who penned the index of chapters (fol. 99v-98r) obviously had a complete text of Hope's "Minor practicks" before him, with net text written on at least 117 leaves - most of which were therafter lost. The volume in its present form, in contrast, has only 101 leaves. I thus assume that the present volume consists of remnants of two formerly separate volumes, bound together.

[{i}Title page, fol. 101v:{/i}] Common form of proces befor the Lords of Session ... [{i}the remainder of the title page is so badly faded that it can no longer be read{/i}].
