This copy of George Buchanan appears to have been made directly from the only known old manuscript, British Library Cotton MS. Calig. C.III, folio 265 - see the edition by P Hume Brown, ‘Vernacular Writings of George Buchanan’ (‘Scottish Text Society’, 1892), pages 37-53. Another copy of the Cotton Manuscript by David Crawford of Drumsoy, in Adv. MS.35.1.1 (i), pages 1-13, was used by Thomas Ruddiman in his edition of Buchanan's ‘Opera Omnia’ (Edinburgh, 1715), volume 1, ad fin., whose text is reproduced by the other editions before Hume Brown.
