Then follows 15 chapters of Book VI, somewhat abridged from Bower, Book VI, Cap. 9 to 23 inclusive, and nearly as compiled by Fordun, concluding with a memorandum stating that the preceding part of the work was due to Fordun, the subsequent part down to the time of James IIto Bower, and the remainder to one whose name would appear at the end of that sixth book. .

This statement was not in fact fulfilled, the part of the page which may have contained the name being torn. Then come the rest of book VI, and five more books, being an abridgement of the rest of the Scotichronichon. The manuscript is written in two different hands, and contains merely the text of the chronicle.

The chronicle was compiled in 1461, and at one time was believed to be the work of Bishop Elphinstone of Aberdeen. The Glasgow manuscript was a transcript of the original made between 1478 and 1496 for William Scheves, Archbishop of St. Andrews. It would appear that the copier was a Frenchman ignorant of the Scottish tongue. [Formerly F.6.14]
