Chartulary produced in Scotland containing documents and charters concerning Paisley Abbey. The contents are arranged according to subject matter, and in part topographically. The volume includes copies of royal, papal and episcopal charters, with a contemporary table of contents at the front.

Davis has dated the manuscript to the 1520s. Scott suggests that part of the manuscript may have been started around 1505, but that the presence of a group of texts dated to 1522 supports the theory that the date of compilation was the mid- to late 1520s.

The manuscript appears to be the work of one scribe and is written in a neat charter hand with 28 lines to a page.

Folios 1r-3v are blank except for ownership inscription and pentrials.

Folios 4r-12v contain the contemporary table of contents.

Folio 13 is blank, recto and verso, but is lined and ruled.

Folios 14r-15v contain writing trials of three charters.

The chartulary proper starts on folio 16r and runs continually to folio 288r.

Folios 288v-289v are blank, recto and verso, but are lined and ruled.

Scott notes that the scribe has copied in the notarial signatures of ten Scottish notaries from various dates between 1384 and 1522. For further discussion on the copying of the documents see Scott (2000).

The decoration of the manuscripts consists of rubrics in red and plain pen-flourished intials. This continues until folio 22v after which the rubrics are given in black.

Each folio recto and verso has been ruled within a frame. Pricking is occasionally evident for the horizontal lines.

From folios 16r to 285r there is a scribal foliation in Roman numerals which runs i-cclxxi. This has been superseded by modern foliation in the top right corner.

There are some scribal marginal annotations, but these are seldom.
