Ius proprium Scotiae - Practicks (general digest of law, systematic) .
Modern foliation in pencil. Old pagination in ink 1-282 (fol. 141r), thereafter no longer paginated. Neither the titles nor the chapters within them are numbered. The headings of the chapters are written above them. They regularly correspond to the ones in the margins of the printed edition.
The scribe obviously understood Latin. At times he wrote long Latin texts - almost flawlessly. The text is by and large complete, but the scribe often skipped references to printed statutes, and often left out additional references, and never copied references to the Registrum Scotiae. At times, chapters are transposed - e.g. the first chapter in title 108 'Removing', and the first chapter in title 109 'Spuilzie'. Titles 21-24 are entirely skipped ('Beggars' - 'Schools', p. 129-133 of the edition). In title 57, 'Buying and selling', the entire long list of references to statutes is simply left out (pag. 211-213 of the edition).
[{i}Incipit: the work starts with the Preface, mentioning King David. The main text starts as usual. It breaks off in the printed edition's title 109 'Spuilzie' in the middle of chapter 40, pag. 475 of the printed edition:{/i}] spuilzie of the saidis teindis; and mairover
