Ius proprium Scotiae - Practicks (general digest of law, systematic) .

Handwriting in large lines. Balfour's extracts from the Acts of Parliament are consistently abridged, right from the beginning: they are reduced to mere references to printed editions of statutes. At the end, the extracts from the Scottish Chronicles precede the Instructions to the Commissars of Edinburgh.
