Bibliography

This appears to be the original manuscript from which William Muir’s edition, published at Glasgow in 1825, was taken (see that work, page 42 note, and folio 9 of the manuscript). The 1825 edition was reprinted in William Mure ‘Works’ (Scottish Text Society, 1898), volume ii, page 233.
