8S THE FHANCTSCAN FRIARY OF JEDBURGH 



manuscript of the abridgement at Roslin, in the Revolution 

 of 1688,*" when the infuriated mob, chiefly tenants of the 

 barony, plundered the castle. It is said*' that an imperfect 

 copy of the Rota Temporum — but whether the complete work 

 or the abridgement, is not explicitly mentioned — was in the 

 library of Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh (1636-91), 

 king's advocate, otherwise known as "The Bloody Mackenzie." 

 Many of his manuscripts were secured by the Advocates and 

 University Libraries, Edinburgh ; but having made inquiry at 

 both these institutions, I find the catalogues do not give 

 evidence that the imperfect copy is now preserved there.
