Fair copy in an unidentified hand of apparently early 18th-century provenance of `Buchanan Revis`d [:] Annotations or Animadversions on Buchanan`s Historie and his Dialogue, etc.` by Sir James Turner, along with the rest of the contents of Adv.MS.31.1.14.
Scope and Contents
The transcript of Turner`s `observations` on O`Flaherty`s ‘Ogygia’ is written in the same hand but on slightly smaller leaves.
The copy may have been made for Sir Robert Sibbald who appears to have made a few brief additions at various places.
The volume appears to have been re-bound early in the 19th century.
