17th-century manuscript, probably written in Scotland, containing a translation into Latin of the 'Οἰκουμένης περιήγησις' ['Description of the Known World'] by Dionysius Periegetes
DescriptionThe translation is probably the work of Sir John Nisbet, Lord Dirleton, as suggested in a heading on page 1 in the hand of Sir Robert Sibbald. The manuscript is written in a clear hand and has scribal marginal annotations throughout referring to the text. There are frequent deletions, corrections, and additions, all of which are scribal.
