| Description | A collection of mostly Scottish poetry brought together by George Bannatyne, student of St. Andrews and merchant burgess of Edinburgh. It was compiled and arranged by him in the last three months of 1568, during an outbreak of plague in Edinburgh. For many of the poems the manuscript is the only witness; for others it is the most reliable one, and the collection is of unique importance. |
