Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1621-1642 (digest, alphabetical) 'Adjudication' .

Anonymous and without title. Breaks off in the middle of letter R. Abstracts of decisions, most of them quite short, collected under alphabetically arranged keywords, with dates, but without names of parties. As Durie collected his Practicks in chronological order, one might expect to find as well a chronological arrangement within each individual keyword, but this is not the case. Most reported decisions originated in the years 1621 to 1639, few are younger. The most recent dates I observed were 1642/7/15 (pag. 21, keyword 'Band') and 1643/12/9 (pag. 34, keyword 'Cawtionerie'). The scribe wrote correct Latin. Good ink, easily readable. Another hand scribbled some additions in the left margins. The text should be compared to MS GD1/328/2.
