Excerpt from Registrum Secreti Sigilli Regum Scotorum, Vol. 1: The Register of the Privy Seal of Scotland; A. D. 1488-1529
It will occasionally be found that the writer of the record, in abridging his Latin warrant, passes inadvertently from narrative to direct citation. In such cases the Latin gets mixed, but correction would have involved interference, more or less extensive, with the text, and has therefore not been attempted. With this explanation no intelligent reader will be in danger o auv misunderstanding. In a few cases the evidently hurri: character of the entry occasions omission of a word or words. In printing the entries any correction or interpolation made is enclosed in square brackets; the substitution of Arabic for Roman numerals, as in dates, is indicated by parentheses and omissions in abridging by a line of points, thus but the same number of points at the head of an entry indicates the omission of place or date in the text.
