Provenance Notes:
Book was written in Louvain, Belgium in 1477 in Latin and Scots by Magnus Makculloch. Magnus was a Scottish student in Louvain and wrote in the book at various times during 1477, along with other members of his family. Magnus became clerk to the Archbishop Schevez and later transcribed two manuscripts of Fordun, which are also held by the University of Edinburgh. There are additional writings by a later hand on blank leaves and fly leaves, possibly from the early to mid 16th century, by a later owner, John Purde, who has signed some of them. These writings consist of three poems by Henryson and Dunbar. This book was acquired by Laing in 1854.
