Críticas

Will be of great use to those interested in both medieval history and historiography. INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF SCOTTISH STUDIES

A wonderful achievement that will make detailed intertextual work much easier to accomplish in the future. RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY

Its authoritative versions of hitherto unpublished or inaccessible chronicles are valuable tools for those with a variety of interests in Scottish history. . . . The erudite and entertaining introduction to the volume clearly and concisely illustrates the variety of insights to be gleaned from these chronicles and sets them in their literary and historical background, making the richness of Scottish historical writing, and the history of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scotland, accessible and profitable to scholars and students alike. SCOTTISH HISTORICAL REVIEW

The editors and translators should be commended for their erudite scholarship. Editing a volume of seven different chronicles, in multiple languages, is no small task. The seven chronicles are meticulously transcribed and edited, and the translations are faithful and accurate. The textual notes occupy roughly one-third of the book; they are substantial and helpful to the reader. Any questions that I had while reading theses chronicles were answered in full in these notes or in the bountiful bibliographic footnotes. The glossary is meticulous. This book is a substantial contribution to late medieval Scottish historical writing. THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW

Scholars of medieval Scottish history and literature have an erudite (but accessible) one-stop shop from which to research - and teach - some of the neglected gems of Older Scots historiography. ARCHIV

A scholarly and accessible volume. JOURNAL OF SCOTTISH HISTORICAL STUDIES

Reseña del editor

Edition, with facing translation, of chronicles from the late medieval/early modern period, concerning the history of Scotland. They build their version of medieval events on Scotland's foundation myths and exhibit a distinct anti-English bias - indeed, the Scottis Orginale began a type of Scottish anti-Arthurian tradition. They thus present an alternative and distinctly "Scottish" view of "history".
