To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The manuscript has suffered considerably from wear and tear, but nothing like so much as the structure to whose wealth it bears witness. It is entitled "The Register Buik of the Fewis maid be the College Kirk of Linclouden, 1547-1564."^ A general list ^ Chalmers makes several very briet references to the " Register Buik," showing that he was aware of its existence ; but in this and the succeeding chapter its contents are made known for the first time. The College. 107 IS given, in the first pla...ce, of the College lands and other property, with the extent or value of each ^ and the terms on which they were let, and in most instances the names of the respective feuars are also recorded. So important do we deem this portion of the chartulary that we give it entire, except that some formal legal terms, such as "auerage and careage, bune verk and all vithir deu serwice," which appear in each lease, have been for an ob- vious reason omitted from all but two or three special quotations. The lands are almost invariably stated to have been let on feu- farm, and that portion of the rents paid in money is termed *'mail;" while it is required that the "victual," which often con- stituted the larger half of them, was to have its quantity tested by a vessel termed " The Crete Mesour of Nyth." With these ex- planations we subjoin a copy of the first portion of the document, the original spelling, which does not present many difficulties, having been retained.
