`Miscellany collections out of the Registers of the justiciary parliament and containing historical and genealogical Collections`, a transcript, late 17th century, partly in the hand of Robert Mylne, of the historical part of Sir Lewis Stewart`s collections, compiled early in the 17th century.

Identifier: Adv.MS.34.3.11
Scope and Contents Compared with Stewart`s own manuscript (Adv.MS.22.1.14), this transcript has several additional texts (which also mostly appear in the other transcript, Adv.MS.34.3.12); as only a few of these can ever have been in Adv.MS.22.1.14, it is likely that this transcript was not made from it, but from a lost expanded version; and if the Lues Stewart mentioned on folio 145 as a borrower of books is Sir Lewis, the expansion may not have been by him.The correspondence between the two...

Miscellany of antiquarian papers compiled by Richard Augustine Hay in 1725-1726 and probably over a somewhat longer period, consisting for the most part of transcripts of royal, episcopal, baronial and other charters and other formal documents from the 12th to the 17th centuries, together with some extracts from medieval cartularies, and a few notes on contemporary published works.

Identifier: Adv.MSS.35.4.16-35.4.17
Scope and Contents

The papers are in some confusion and many others dispersed. Some (Adv.MS.25.9.10) were acquired by the Advocates` Library in 1881 as part of the Riddell Papers; and others (Acc.5022 and Acc.5694) were acquired by the National Library of Scotland in 1970 and 1972.

The purposes for which the papers were originally compiled and the circumstances of their dispersal are alike unknown.

Dates: 12th century-17th century.

Notebook of Richard Augustine Hay apparently originally intended for notes (folio 1), meditations and extracts (folios 1-10 inverted) of a religious character, but used almost entirely for transcripts of documents relating to the family of Sinclair of Rosslyn (folios 3-83).

Identifier: Adv.MS.32.6.2
Scope and Contents Following the transcripts are a list of books ‘of help for Composing our history’ (folio 84) and transcripts of two charters apparently unrelated to Rosslyn or the Sinclairs. The notes and transcripts are all undated but were doubtless made before the writing of Adv.MSS.34.1.8-34.1.9 was begun in 1700. Most perhaps were made by Hay when he was in Scotland between 1686 and 1690; Slezer`s ‘Theatrum Scotiæ’ (first published 1693) is mentioned at folio 86. The watermark of the leaves...
