Scotichronicon

Scotichronicon in Latin and English, Volume 1, is a comprehensive work of Scottish literature and medieval world history. Written by Walter Bower at the request of David Stewart of Rosyth, this text serves as an epic history of the Scots. Bower expanded upon earlier materials from John of Fordun to document the narrative of Scotland up to his own era.

This volume of Scotichronicon in Latin and English, Volume 1, is a primary resource for British and Irish history. It covers ancient periods from BCE to 1500, including the myth of Scota, the daughter of Pharaoh. As a significant piece of general history and sociology, the text provides a detailed look at medieval national identity and the world view of early Scottish commentators.
