Collection of state papers of the reigns of James VI and Charles I made by Sir James Balfour of Denmilne, Lord Lyon King of Arms.
The collection is known both as the `Denmilne State Papers` and the `Denmilne Collection`. Less formally it is often referred to as the `Denmilne Manuscripts`.
Copies or drafts of letters and memoranda of Mary, Queen of Scots, or associated closely with her, probably written by various secretaries.
Manuscript of an incomplete copy of 'De Actibus Apostolorum' by Arator.
Unidentified text, apparently 18th century, written in cipher.
The cipher alphabet included Roman and Greek letters, astrological symbols, and other apparently invented symbols. The text appears to be divided into sections by horizontal lines. The name Baptiste Romin or Romain is added in pencil on folios 27 and 28 (inverted). Loosely enclosed is a fragment of a copy by Robert Mylne of Sir Thomas Urquhart's ‘Παντοχεονοχανον’ (London, 1652). This bifolium, paginated 33-36, contains numbers 98-113 of the 'genealogy' of the Urquharts.
