Manuscript produced in Scotland containing Church offices; a calendar; obituaries of benefactors; a rental of the hospital of St Anthony, Leith; and a rental of Newhaven.

The manuscript appears to be the work of two separate hands executed at different times. The earlier part of the work is of the 15th century. From folio 19r onwards the hand can be attributed to the mid-16th century.

The contents are as follows:

Flyleaves with shelfmark inscriptions. Folios i-ii.

16th-century inscription, 'The rental buke of sanct anthonis and newhavin coverit with broun lethir'. Folio 1r. Folio 1v is blank.

Offices, rules and regulations in Latin. Folios 2r-4v.

Prayers and deeds with a list of benefactors, in Scots. Begins on folio 5r with 'It is statuit and ordanit in our scheptour for sundri resonabil causis, that the saulis of thaim that has gevyn yeirlie perpetuall rent to this abbay and hospital of Sanct Antonis besyd Leith, or has augmentit Goddis service be foundation; or ony vther vays has gevyn substantiusly of their gudis to the bygayn, reparacioun and vphaldyng of the foirsaid abbay and place, that thay be prayit for eurylk Sunday till the day of dome, and in speciall oppynly thar namys expremyt als weill the quhik as the deid, that mair abundantly thai may resaif the suffragyis, prayer and power of the ordour, witht the indulgens, prayer and pardonys grantyt and gevyn be the sege of Rome, at the reverence of God Almychty, the glorious Virgin, and of our haly fader and patron Sanct Anthon'. A list of benefactors starts on 5v and includes 44 prayers in total. It begins with King James I and also incorporates prayers for James Kennedy, bishop of St Andrews, and Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig, 'our fowndour'. Folios 5r-8v (folio 6 is blank).

Folio 9 is blank but is lined recto and verso.

A calendar with no feasts marked, but containing obituaries of the benefactors from 1404-1528. Each day of the week is indicated by a different letter. There are 24 entries. The entries dated 1521 and 1528 are later insertions. In Latin. Folios 10r-17r.

Rental of St Anthony, Leith. 'Thir ar ye an[n]uellis of Leith p[er]tenand to ye place of sanct Anthon[is] ȝerlye'. In Scots. Folios 17v-18v.

Rental of Newhaven, 1546. 'Rentale portus gracie ab[i]s vocat by new havyne extract ac pr[i]m[o] et 2o octobris in anno xlvi'. The Black Friars of Edinburgh are mentioned repeatedly in the rental. This portion of the manuscript is by a different hand and is damaged by damp. In Latin. Folios 19r-23v.

Illegible inscriptions, probably relating to the rental of Newhaven. Folio 24r.

Folio 24v is blank.

Folios 2r-17r are decorated with initials in blue and red with blue and red penwork. Capitals and other letters are stroked with blue or red. The capital for the December heading has been ornamented with a grotesque. Folios 17v-24v do not have decoration.

The recto and verso sides of the folios have been lined, although this is inconsistent towards the beginning and end of the volume.

There is evidence of contemporary repairs to the vellum.
