Description | Written in the centre of the rota is "anno domini 1499 Indictio" connected to the letter 2. The indiction is a numbered year in a 15 year cycle used to date documents in the middle ages. It begins on September 24 (or sometimes December 25 or another date) and the indiction for a year Anno Domini can be calculated by adding two to the year, dividing by 15 and adding 1 to the remainder, hence 1499 is the second indiction. |
Description | A selection of over 200 volumes of medieval and early modern manuscripts, dating from the 9th to the 17th century. 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. |
