George Bannatyne - The Bannatyne Manuscript

The Bannatyne Manuscript

The Bannatyne Manuscript is, with the Asloan and Maitland manuscripts, one of the great sources of Middle Scots literature. It contains many works by Henryson, Dunbar, Lyndsay, Alexander Scott and Alexander Montgomerie.

The document was passed by Bannatyne to his descendants and then, via several private owners, to the Advocates' Library of Edinburgh. It is now held by the National Library of Scotland.
