This essay examines the scribes, readers, and owners of Edinburgh, National Archives of Scotland, MS RH 13/35, demonstrating that this manuscript, previously described as "a collection of fragments of which there is no known or recorded provenance", is instead witness to a vibrant and closely related familial and professional network of literary producers, publishers, and consumers active in and around Haddington in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century.
