AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Critical account of early Scotland by John Leslie, Bishop of Ross and ambassador to Mary, Queen of Scots. Grounded in extensive first-hand research, particularly in the topographical sections. While much of the earlier history draws on Hector Boece and John Major, the later sections provide an independent account from a Catholic perspective, offering a valuable counterpoint to narratives by Knox and Buchanan. Endpapers show some loss. Discoloration and creasing throughout. Top right corner tear from p.79 to p.83. Tears at the bottom of pp.293, 301-303, and 309 with small paper loss, this does not affect any text or content. Includes engraved full-page genealogical illustrations with portraits, woodcut initials and tailpieces. Abrahamus Francke bookplate, Trinity College, Cambridge, 1710.

34 pp., 543 pp., [43]
