Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624: (1592/11 - 1593/12) .
Binding of this part of the MS and handwriting: the first quire of paper comprises fol. 128-139, the second one comprises fol. 140-148 (thus an uneven number of leaves - single leaf must have been glued in), and the third one comprises fol. 149-152. Changes of hand occur at the beginnings of fol. 128, 140, 141, 149: several scribes, and all of them used very light ink which is difficult to read. The text largely corresponds to the author's original Edinburgh, NL Scotland, Adv.MS.24.2.1.
