Manuscripta juridica

Tractatus "Jus feudale": (liber 3) , subdivided into seven chapters (called diegeses = 'explanations). Diegesis 7 (about procedure in feudal matters) starts on fol. 338. Pages 303v-303r and 343v-344r are blank, but the text goes on, nothing is missing. The text is penned in particularly easily legible characters. The scribe used the shapes which were common on the European continent. He made no use of specific Scottish shapes of characters. The text was obviously copied from a manuscript whose lower rims had been cut too short when the book was bound - so that a last line on a page was accidently cut off. See the copying scribe's note on fol. 167, left margin: 'deest linea' - and he thus left two lines' space in his copy
