[A reprint of the edition of 1606. The work concerns the problems of burials within the confines of the church. As Turnbull notes in his preface the work is also of interest for 'preserving to us many old Scottish words and phrases now forgotten, and which have not been preserved in Dr. Jamieson's Dictionary, to which laborious and valuable work, Mr. Birnie's Blame might form an appendix. Unfortunately, however, until mentioned to him by the Editor, it had never been heard of by the reverend lexicographer.']. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23429
