Excerpt from Liber Protocollorum M. Cuthberti Simonis Notarii Publici Et Scribæ Capituli Glasguensis A. D. 1499-1513, Vol. 1: Also Rental Book of Diocese of Glasgow, A. D. 1509-1570
The vicissitudes of these two records form a narra tive approaching the romantic. The precious collee tion of muniments connected with the ancient see of Glasgow was, it is understood, removed to France by the second James Betoun, when that prelate retired thither at the era of the Reformation. On his death, in 1603, the documents were deposited partly in the Scots College, and partly in the Chartreuse of Paris.* There they remained for nearly two centuries, till the storm of the French Revolution burst on their custodiers. In the destruction of all that was ancient or venerable at that period, many Of the documents perished, but a considerable number of mss., includ in g the Registrant Vetus Ecclesiae Cathedralis Glas yuensis (the basis of the Bannatyne and Maitland volumes), were brought in 1798 to this country by the patriotic exertions of the Abbe Paul Macpherson, who, after showing them to George Chalmers, the author of Caledonia, and lending some of them to him, deposited the remainder in the hands of the late Bishop Cameron, of Edinburgh.
