Medieval Chronicles of Scotland: Chronicles of Melrose, Stevenson
The Chronicle of Melrose separates into two distinct parts; a first part which is clearly based on Anglo-Saxon sources, and a second which contains original material, and which dates from around the time of the re-founding of the abbey in 1136. It is this second portion which is printed in this book. From about 1170 onwards, changes in the handwriting of the manuscript seem to give it the character of a continuous contemporary narrative. It is of value as a source-book of Scottish history for several reigns. It ends in 1264.
Restoration Ministries had been active with E Raymond Capt and other Scholars, hosting and co-hosting their seminars, and distributing books from the 1980s. In 2000 Dr Stephen M B Knott was made Editor of the Ministry Newsletter. Dr Knott was appointed manager of the Celts Roots bookshop in 2003 (a business of Dr Warren Johnson).
We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Johnson and E. Raymond Capt M.A. A.I.A. F.S.A. SCOT. (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland etc) for their hard work, coaching and inspiration during our founding years. Since then numerous festivals have enjoyed this genre of Celtic books.
