Summary:

This work, 'Registrum Monasterii S. Marie de Cambuskenneth,' documents the historical records of Cambuskenneth Abbey, a medieval Scottish religious house, spanning from 1147 to 1535. The book includes a transcription of charters, legal documents, and other historical materials, authenticated by royal and judicial authority to preserve the monastery's heritage. Compiled under the direction of Alexander Mylne, Abbot of Cambuskenneth and President of the Court of Session, the register serves as a vital resource for understanding the legal, social, and ecclesiastical history of Scotland during the Middle Ages. It provides detailed accounts of lands, privileges, parliaments, abbots, and the role of the Abbey in significant historical events. Intended for historians, scholars, and those interested in medieval Scottish history, the text reflects efforts to ensure the preservation of decaying original documents by creating a durable and accessible compilation authenticated by King James V's seal.
