Abstract
In the fifteenth century, the Scottish royal court was unable to provide continuous cultural patronage, and its own sporadic instances of such patronage were frequently outstripped by the efforts of powerful noble families. Institutions such as the Chapel Royal and Trinity College were also centres of learning in other areas. The prebendaries and dignitaries of the Chapel Royal were courtiers as much as academics, legists and clerics. In the early years of the reign of James VI (1567-1625) the dominant, Calvinist type of Protestantism in Scotland radically re-evaluated some of the aspects of the court-initiated early-Renaissance culture of pre-Reformation Scotland. Consequently, with respect to this historical period a conception of learning that only accepts as evidence for the existence of intelligence a large quantity of physical proof that establishes a formalised input of learning, such as curricula and textbooks, is too narrow and self-defeating. Keywords: early-Renaissance culture; Scottish Chapel Royal; Trinity college
