Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624 (digest, alphabetical) 'Acts of Parliament. Transgressione': (1609-1623/7/23) .

Neatly written by only one scribe, using twenty-seven days for the transcription. The beginning corresponds to the parallel work in MS Cambridge UL Kk.5.22, but the end does not, and it should be checked whether the present work was meant as a supplement to the other. Earliest and latest years which caught my eyes: 1609 and 1623. The catalogue's mentioning of the year 1606 appears to refer to a case of 1606 which was mentioned in a case of 1609/12/16 on fol. 62r
