Found in 286 Collections and/or Records:
Two English medical manuscripts of the 12th century (each with later additions), bound together probably in the medieval period; the second at least belonged to a monk of Peterborough.
Two manuscripts bound in a volume of seventeenth-century printed sermons: a sermon, undated, preached by James Fergusson, Minister of Kilwinning (died 1667); and a treatise, 1717, entitled 'A vindication of set forms in generall and of the English service in particular', apparently by Thomas Law., 17th century, 1717.
These are the more substantial of the letters, papers and notes found in the Lauriston Castle Collection of printed books, whether pasted or inserted loosely into volumes or as inscriptions written in books.
Two manuscripts bound together, containing the burgh laws, ‘Regiam Maiestatem’, ‘Quoniam Attachiamenta’, statutes, and other smaller legal texts, some in Scots.
Two works on Islamic theology, copied, 19th century, in a coarse West African script, with interlinear and marginal notes., 19th century.
The manuscripts of the Society of Antiquaries include the ‘Hawthornden Manuscripts’, MSS.2053-2067, the papers of William Drummond of Hawthornden and of his uncle, William Fowler.
Unidentified legal treatise., 17th century.
The first leaf of the treatise, along with most of the second and third and some others have been lost. The text is arranged in 85 tituli. No cases later than the 1630s appear to be cited. This is followed (folio 94) by a selection from Haddington's ‘Practicks’ and by some extra, un-numbered tituli. Loosely inserted (folios 105-106) is a copy of an act concerning the highway through Inveresk.
Unpublished treatises of John Sobieski Stuart (John Hay Allan), calling himself Count d'Albanie, with materials collected for them., 19th century.
The manuscripts of the Society of Antiquaries include the ‘Hawthornden Manuscripts’, MSS.2053-2067, the papers of William Drummond of Hawthornden and of his uncle, William Fowler.
Volume containing a fair copy (possibly the original) of `Ane treatise of the Happie and Blissed Vnioun, betuixt the tua ancienne realmes of Scotland and England ... ` by John Russell (folio 1), followed by `Ane wther treatise, contiening the deuty and office, of ane Christiane prince, ...` (folio 21).
The manuscript is the earlier of two known copies, the other being in the British Library, Royal MS 18.A.LXXVI. This copy appears to have been written between May and October 1604: the other, which contains numerous differences, appears to have been written after October 1604, and probably in 1605, and was probably presented to King James.
Volume containing inter alia translations or copies, 1706 or after, of treatises on maritime law, chancery styles, and Crown patrimony, an index to Stair’s ‘Institutions of the Law of Scotland’, and copies of Scottish patents, 16th and 17th century.
The manuscript is in the hand of Robert Mylne, and his initials are recorded on the inside front cover. The latest document is dated 1706, and the manuscript was probably written soon after that date. On the flyleaf a contemporary hand has written `This Book Considering the Valuable Miscellanies therein cannot be sold under ten dollars at least [[ … ]] I.V.G.`
Volume of miscellaneous papers concerning genealogy and religion which belonged to Robert Mylne, the antiquary.
