| Description | The material in the manuscript covers the 12th to the 16th centuries. The work is written in one hand and contains frequent additions, erasures, and corrections. The additions to the work, both in the margins and interlineal, are partly in Latin and partly in Scots. The volume ends with 'Freir Mark Hammiltonis Historie', a short history of the Hamilton family in Scots. As well as charters, the volume contains extracts of obits and of a visitation of the Cathedral, which are not to be found elsewhere. |

Some of Scotland's most important early manuscripts are included in the many Scottish volumes. These are complemented by interesting and significant works of international origin, including volumes from France, England, the Low Countries, Italy and a number of other countries. Most of the manuscripts were collected by the Advocates Library, the forerunner of the National Library of Scotland. |
