  1. The parliament of 1568 appears in a two fragmentary sections of PA2/11. Thomson edited these sections to form a coherent text in APS, thereby obscuring the nature of the manuscript material. In 'The Scottish parliamentary records, 1560-1603', Historical Research, 72 (1999), p.258, J. Goodare stated that the material 'consisted of two separate but parallel chronological series', covering 'the main judicial business' and 'subsidiary judicial business'. The material is presented here more or less as it appears in PA2/11. Additional folios from November 1569 have been removed and placed in the correct chronological order. Back
