Every name in a will is a doorway into a lost life. The past lives in names. The Commissariot Record of Edinburgh, Register of Testaments (Part I, Volume I), edited by Francis J. Grant, is a primary source reference book for the capital's Scottish probate court records in the sixteenth century, preserving a landmark Scottish genealogy records collection. As a meticulously arranged calendar of historical wills and testaments from early modern Scotland, it opens up 16th century Edinburgh records of merchants, craftsmen, nobles and townspeople, adding human detail to the bare entries of the Scottish parish registers collection and other family history sources Scotland. Produced as a classic Scottish Record Society edition, this volume brings together Scottish legal history documents that illuminate inheritance, property, kinship and belief, offering an unrivalled reference book for genealogists and researchers of Scottish ancestry. Lawyers, local historians and anyone exploring early modern Scotland genealogy gain direct access to authentic voices of the period, while careful indexing and arrangement support confident use alongside other archival materials and printed finding aids. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A heritage-focused reissue that respects the original scholarship while presenting it cleanly for modern study, it belongs on the shelf of every serious family historian, academic library and collector of Scottish source-books alike.
