Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1624-1639 (alphabetical, 'Acts of court' - 'Wife', 'Unlawis') (author and work not verified, 1626-1639).

Collected under alphabetised keywords. In the left margins there are summaries, written in lighter ink. On the first pages, names of parties and dates are added at the end of the items - often in lighter ink, thus probably added together with the summaries. Thereafter dates, but not names of parties, are often supplied at the end of the summaries in the margin. Many items lack a date. The collection also contains some abstracts of Acts of Parliament. They are interspersed in between the decisions.

Year dates: I often found 1627. 1637 (title 'Oathes'), 1639 (recto of fourth-last sheet)
