Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624 'Sex goldin buttones': (1609/11/4 - 1623/12/12) .

The entire volume is neatly written by one hand only. The items are not numbered. Summaries are written in the space between the items. Dates are written at the end of the summaries. Parties' names are usually mentioned at the beginning of items, but at times at the end, or in both places.

I have compared samples of the text to Edinburgh, NL Scotland, MS.2707: the first three items, the last three items, and seven items from November 1623. They all correspond. The wording has variants, but it is still closely related. In Edinburgh, NL Scotland, MS.2707 the text breaks off at the same place
