Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. A first edition of the early legislative record of the Scots Parliament, starting with those Laws and Acts begun by James the First, and followed by his successors. Also included is a first edition of Skene's De Verborum Significatione, his work on ancient Scottish Legal terms, effectively acting as an early dictionary on Scottish Law. Of Skene himself, he was a noted prosecutor and judge. ESTC suggests that one of the title pages is generally missing, which is the case of the lacking engraved additional title. There is an armorial bookplate for Dowden Memorial Library, of St. Mary's Cathedral, in Edinburgh, and the front free endpaper has another plate for an individual simply entitled Airth. The volume has been rebacked, with the board corners repaired. The additional engraved title page is lacking, as are blank leaves e1 and 2D4, the folding plate, and the tables/index at the rear of the volume is lacking E6, G2 (a blank?), M2, M5, and T1-T4. The main text of the volume is otherwise complete. Two works finely bound in folio, (4 of 5)+162; 178+(88 of 96) leaves This volume is in very good shape, with some rubbing and wear to the binding. The title leaf is torn at the head, with a loss to the headpiece. There is damp mottling and consequent fraying to the upper inner corners of several leaves at the front of the volume, and some fraying to the leaves at the front and rear. There is some damp staining throughout, mostly marginal, but heavier to the last few quires.…

4to, title (slightly foxed) and following leaf "to the Reader" a little frayed on outer corners but not touching the text, [4], 96, 87-102, 101-172 pp., contemporary calf, covers detached. John Skene's dictionary, published in 1597, was the first Scottish attempt to define the language of the law. In his opening statement to the reader he modestly admitted his errors and ignorance, and complained that his subject was "one mater nought pleasand in itselfe, nor treated be others of before."*****The dictionary is dense and verbosely worded, and with its arcane spellings and inconsistently formed sentences, it makes some definitions nearly unreadable. He defined many words that are now completely obsolete, of Latin or French origin, giving brief etymological information.****Despite these kinds of archaic forms, many definitions still very clearly describe the meanings of important words and concepts. The dictionary did in fact prompt other Scottish writers to improve upon it, as Skene wished. Skene's dictionary was an invaluable contribution to the literature of Scotland and Scottish law.
