1 vol. (1124 - 1424) - Volume I of The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland (APS), is the first volume of a huge series of all the acts of the Scottish parliament between its origins and the Union of 1707.
Until recent years, APS was the series historians turned to when using the acts of parliament, however it was replaced by an entirely new edition of the acts contained in Records of the Parliaments of Scotland, edited by K. M. Brown et al. (RPS).
Although RPS has superseded APS in almost every respect, it did not republish a great deal of the content found in APS, volume I.

8 vols (0 - 1471) - Jean de Waurin (born circa 1398, died circa 1474), was a French chronicler, belonging to the noble family of Artois, and was present at the battle of Agincourt.
Afterwards he fought for the Burgundians at Verneuil and elsewhere, and then occupying a high position at the court of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, was sent as ambassador to Rome in 1463.
Jean compiled the Recueil des croniques et anchiennes istories de la Grant Bretaigne, a collection of the sources of English history from the earliest times to 1471. For this work he borrowed from Froissart, Monstrelet and others; while for the period between 1444 and 1471 the Recueil is original and especially valuable.
From the beginning to 688 and again from 1399 to 1471 the text was edited for the Rolls Series (5 vols, London, 1864–1891), by W. and E. L. C. P. Hardy, who also translated the greater part of it into English. The section from 1325 to 1471 was edited by L. M. E. Dupont (Paris, 1858–1863).
