Collection of quarto volumes of transcripts by and for Lieutenant-General G H Hutton, 1st quarter of 19th century, of several of the surviving cartularies and other registers, and of some collections of charters and other deeds, of the medieval dioceses, churches and religious houses of Scotland, 1164-1639.
Scope and Contents
Many of the transcripts are undated: apart from those in Adv.MS.9A.1.17, which were made in 1800, few appear from the watermarks in the leaves to have been made before 1813. From the watermarks of the endpapers the volumes appear to have been bound about 1818 or later.
Several of the transcripts were made from original manuscripts or eighteenth-century copies then in possession of the Honourable William Maule of Panmure, who was created Baron Panmure in 1831: others were made from copies in possession of John Dillon, secretary of the Maitland Club.
