Manuscripta juridica

Lectura Institutionum: (Inst.3.27-4.4 et Inst.4.6-4.16) .

Rough notes in Latin, hastily written, but Scottish handwriting throughout. No notes on Inst.4.5, but six pages are left free to supply such notes at a later time.

Further lecture notes are written on the recto of flyleaf i and on the inside of the front- and back covers. Perhaps written by a student in a French university, because the notes on Inst 4.4, De iniuriis, discuss whether revealing the fact that Monsieur Charters is infected with syphilis might be seen as an insult to him: 'Queritur: si verum sit quod dicitur, an non veritas excuset? Responde: si aliquis animo iniuriandi fecit, non excusat. Ut quamvis mulierem meretricem vocares que autem meretrix habetur, nihilominus haberet actionem injuriandi. Et quamvis monsieur Charters diceret[ur] laborare morbo Gallico, nihilominus haberet actionem injuriarum contra te.'
