Manuscripta juridica

Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks (digest of decisions), systematic, drawn from Alexander Gibson Lord Durie or Peter Wedderburn Lord Gosford .

This compend is preserved in four MSS which disagree about the identity of the re-arranger, and also about the original collector of the practicks. The items are grouped under keyword titles.

One may say that some keyword titles are connected to subsequent ones under a loose association of ideas, but by and large no logical arrangement can be ascertained
