Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1573-1592: (1577/7/4 - 1580/2) .

Related to, and probably copied from, Adv.MS.24.1.11 - either directly or indirectly. Directly continuing Maitland's Practicks, without any break or change of colour of ink. Even the numbering of items continues: 498-614. The only difference is that now the dates are appended to the headings [as in Adv.MS.24.1.11 and also 24.1.5]. This manuscript offers dates for items which are neither dated in Adv.MS.24.1.4, nor in MSS Edinburgh, Signet Library, 34 and 37. I have collated long text passages of this MS to several other MSS, and this has led me to the conclusion that the text was probably copied from Adv.MS.24.1.11.
