WYNTOUN, ANDREW OF (?1350-?142o)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 873 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WYNTOUN, ANDREW OF (?1350-?142o) , author of a long metrical history of
Scotland
 , called the Orygynale Cronykil of
Scotland
 , was a canon regular of St Andrews, and prior of St Serf's in Lochleven. He wrote the Chronicle at the request of his patron, Sir John of Wemyss, whose representative, Mr Erskine Wemyss of Wemyss Castle, Fifeshire, possesses the oldest extant MS. of the
work
 . The subject is the history of Scotland from the mythical period (hence the epithet "
original
  ") down to the accession of James I. in 1406. The earlier books are of no historical value, but the later have in all outstanding matters stood the test of comparison with contemporary records. The philological
interest
  is
great
 , for few works of this date, and no other of like magnitude, are extant in the vernacular.
The text is preserved in eight MSS., of which three are in the British Museum, the Royal (17 D xx.), the Cottonian (Nero D. xi.) and the Lansdowne (197); two in the
Advocates
 ' library, Edinburgh (19, 2, 3 and 19, 2, 4), one at Wernyss Castle (u.s.) ; one in the university library at St Andrews, and one, formerly in the possession of the Boswells of Auchinleck, now the property .of Mr John Ferguson, Duns, Berwickshire. The first edition of the Chronicle (based on the Royal MS.) was published by
David
 
Macpherson
  in 1795; the second by David Laing, in the
series
  of " Scottish Historians " din., 1872). Both are superseded by the elaborate edition by Mr Amours for the Scottish Text Society (1906).
