Abstract

Abstract The records of parliament are basic sources for Scottish historians. The statutes themselves illuminate politics and government policy; the attendance lists too are useful for political history. However, the records for much of this period are incomplete, even fragmentary. This article analyses the editorial approach of the published Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, and identifies further material not found in it. Not only are there additional statutes and attendance lists, but also additional parliaments. In particular, a contemporary list of the acts of the Reformation Parliament (1560) is fully discussed and evaluated for the first time.
