Ordo iudiciorum Scotiae - details: schawing of halding, and purpresture, and falsing of domes, with pertinent styles .

Here, the volume presents three separate old treatises as if they were one continuous work. Therefore I introduce them as three separate items below.

[{i}Description in the Table of Contents:{/i}] An old Tract relative to the manner of proceeding in the Barons Court, etc. by way of supplement to another similar Tract, published by Sir John Skene, along with his translation of Regiam maiestatem, etc


No. of pages: Pag. 233-264

Rubric: The maner of the process, ande ordour of schawing of halding, etc. (taken from a manuscript in the Advocate's Library, W. 4. ult., supposed to have been compiled in the reign of James III.) [{i}The last MS which could once be referred to as being 'at the end of shelf W.4' is the present Edinburgh, NL Scotland, Adv.MS.25.4.15. This MS cannot be meant. Yet, it may well be that a different MS stood at the end of shelf W.4 in Thomas Thomson's times. The pertinent texts are contained in MS Edinburgh, NL Scotland, Accession 11218 nr. 5, for instance{/i}]
