Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624 'Sex goldin buttones': (1609/11/4 - 1623/12/12) .

Anonymous and without title, but one third of the first page is left free, probably for a beautifully written title or even a drawing to be entered at a later time. The items are not numbered. Some have a heading above them. Dates are written at the end, in larger letters. The extent of the text corresponds to Edinburgh, NL Scotland, MS.2707. On pag. 88 the text jumps from 1611/11/9 to an item 1620/7/26 and then to items 1622 February onwards. The handwriting is not easy to read. It is - as observed below after the end of Hope's Minor practicks - 'not werie fair, yet they are prettie corect'.
