‘Extracta ex variis chronicis Scotiae’, an incomplete transcript, early 18th century, taken from the original manuscript, Adv.MS.35.6.13, a collection of extracts of chronicles, late 15th century-early 16th century, mostly taken from Fordun and Boece with extensive annotations in the hand of Sir William Sinclair of Roslin.
Scope and Contents
A number of items in the Wodrow collection are in the same hand, and the copyist appears to have worked fairly frequently for Robert Wodrow. Later additions in the original are here collected at the end (page 159) and partially in a different hand, but the copyist breaks off in mid-entry at folio 296 verso of the original. The folio numbers of the original are given in the margin, and the index, which is placed at the beginning in the original, is omitted.
