Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624: (1593/12/24 - 1594/3, 1594/5/22 - 1594/6/25, 1594/11/23-30) , author not verified.
I have compiled a list of all items comprised. It needs to be collated to the original of Hamilton's collection in Edinburgh, NL Scotland, Adv.MS.24.2.1. The series of practicks starts directly after the end of the series preserved in MSS Signet 34 and Adv.MS.22.3.4 . It ends with an item dated 1593/12/14.
Each item has an abstract heading. The parties' names are written in the left margin. The reports are very detailed. The diligence of the collector is also shown by the fact that he selected so many cases to be reported, often several cases from the same day.
The scribe worked relatively reliably. He even knew some Latin - not much. Latin words or phrases are often garbled.
