Volume 2. ONLY

[2] 523 [31]

Second volume ONLY of De Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland. The first edition of the 'Chronicle' (based on the Royal manuscript) was published by David Macpherson in 1795 from the original 15th-century work by Andrew of Wyntoun

Andrew Wyntoun, known as Andrew of Wyntoun (c1350 – c1425), was a Scottish poet, a canon and prior of Loch Leven on St Serf's Inch and, later, a canon of St. Andrews. Most famous for his completion of an eight-syllabled metre entitled, Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, which contains an early mention of Robin Hood; it is also cited by the Oxford English Dictionary as the earliest work in English to use the word "Catholic": 

The subject of the 'Chronicle' is the history of Scotland from the mythical period to the death of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany in 1420.

*"Henry Drummond (1786 – 1860) was an English banker, politician and writer, best known as one of the founders of the Catholic Apostolic or Irvingite Church. He took a deep interest in religious subjects, and published books and pamphlets on the interpretation of prophecy, the circulation of the Apocrypha and the principles of Christianity. "
