| Description | A transcript of 56 charters of the Abbey of Holme Cultram, a Cistercian monastery founded by monks from Melrose in 1150, in what was at the time Scottish territory. The charters selected for transcription concern Scottish lands or were granted by Scottish persons. Further charters are calendared at the back of the volume. The original chartulary of the late 13th century is held in the Cumbria Record Office, Carlisle. The transcriber, who signs his name on the title page and on p. 51, was John Goldie of Craigmure, Commissioner of Dumfries (1708-1776). |

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. |
