Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Antiquarian Notices of Syphilis in Scotland in the 15th and 16th Centuries
The Edinburgh edict regarding syphilis was six months later in date than the first of those issued by the magis trates of Aberdeen, and is more lengthy in its details and provisions. It was drawn up, as I have already said, by the King's Privy Council/and apparently sent to the magistrates for due execution. It is preserved in the first volume of the Town Records of Edinburgh, fol. 33, 34, and is entitled in the rubric; ine' Grangore Act; Grandgore being an early term often, applied to syphilis in Scotland. This edict has been repeatedly printed, but usually in a very incorrect form. The exact date and words of it are as follows.
