Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1550-1592: (cumulative index, very selective) .

Parties' names are given, but not dates. The extracted practicks bear numbers between 40 and 845. Numbers match the ones in fol. 12r-22r, but the text of Maitland's Practicks which the compiler of the index had at hand must have had a quite different arrangement, and it obviously comprised many items which are not contained in Sutherland's provisional edition of Maitland's Practicks (based on MS Glasgow, UL, Gen. 1333)
