| Description | Manuscript rental book for Paisley Abbey, written in Scotland, containing statistical information and a series of individual rentals from the period 1460 to 1550, with a later marginal addition of 1555. There are many hands evident throughout the manuscript. Some of the headings are written in a bookhand; however, the rest of the work is written cursive hands, at times difficult to read. There are also many alterations and deletions as rentals were updated, and occasionally entire paragraphs are deleted. The volume contains no decoration; however, on folio 110v is a contemporary plain pen drawing of a head. |
