The Miscellany of the Scottish History Society brings together critical editions of important and previously unpublished manuscripts of relevance to Scottish history. As well as providing transcriptions, the editors introduce and explain the context of documents which have been neglected or even unknown to historians, providing a valuable resource for researchers, students, and all those interested in exploring Scottish history through the original sources. This sixteenth volume focuses on the early modern period, presenting editions of five sources from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. Ranging widely over the political and social history of the period, the collection uncovers previously unpublished material which will be of value to anyone interested in witchcraft, ghosts and the supernatural, religious controversy, royal accounts and the social and demographic history of the period. Together, the documents comprise an essential collection for the study of early modern Scottish History, and help to illuminate the wealth of unpublished sources still waiting to be explored.
