17th-century transcripts of foundation charters of religious houses in Scotland made by Sir James Balfour; and a transcript, probably late 16th-century, of the Chartulary of Balmerino Abbey
DescriptionThe two sets of transcripts were probably brought together in the mid-17th century, and were certainly together before the death of Charles Fairfax, a former owner of the volume, in 1673. The volume is interleaved, which was probably done in the late 18th century, with insertions also added at the end.

Some of Scotland's most important early manuscripts are included in the many Scottish volumes.
