Ius proprium Scotiae - Practicks (general digest of law, systematic) 'Judges are either civill, criminall or ecclesiasticall' .
Anonymous and without a title. Some titles overlap with the work in Edinburgh, NL Scotland, MS.8490, MS.9248 and Adv.MS.31.2.5. A high percentage of statements of law bears no date and no reference to a particular source. Of those points of law which are dated, most refer to court cases 1624-1639. Earliest and latest dates of court cases which caught my eye: 1556 (f. 14v), 1669 (f. 34v). Reference is made to Regiam maiestatem (f. 16r), Balfour 'c. 485' (f. 10v), Durie's Practicks (f. 8r), Haddington's Practicks from December 1609 (f. 34v) to January 1623 (f. 11v), also quoted by numbering (f. 91r: 'Had. num. 524'), Craig's 'Jus feudale', quoted with page numbers (of the printed edition?) (f. 91r: 'Craig p. 299'), furthermore Hope's Major practicks: 'Major, title Horn.' (f. 34v), 'Hop in tit. Repleidging' (f. 29v).
