It was first printed in &#8221; Notes and Queries&#8221; by Dr. J. G. F.<br \/>\nGordon of Glasgow, from the manuscripts of Prior Marianus Brockie,<br \/>\nof S. James&#8217; Monastery at Ratisbon, Dr. Gordon states that Father<br \/>\n(Servanus) Thomson (formerly a monk of Dunfermline) preserved<br \/>\nit in the library of the convent, where Father Brockie found it.<br \/>\nIt is an interesting piece, but not entirely above suspicion ;<br \/>\nthat is to say, the date which the prayer for the king would indi-<br \/>\ncate is an impossible one. Girig is the King Gregory who was<br \/>\nsolemnly crowned at Scone in 875, and reigned about twelve<br \/>\nyears.2 Yet we find S. David Rex among the intercessions. Again,<br \/>\nthe presence of Crathlinthus shows that it must have been drawn up<br \/>\nafter the time of Boece, which is confirmed by the latinity of the<br \/>\nprayer at the conclusion. The expression &#8221; Almificus&#8221; does not occur,<br \/>\napparently, before 1046.3 The debased form &#8221; recensitorum &#8221; also<br \/>\nindicates a very late epoch ; and the theological formula, &#8221; Tecum in<br \/>\nccelo regnantium,&#8221; is that of the decree on the saints in the canons of<br \/>\nthe Council of Trent. Again, no Culdean litany would speak of the<\/p>\n<p>1 Vol. ii. part ii. p. 256.<br \/>\n2 Fordun, Scotich., lib. iv. c. 17, vol. i. p. 198, ed. Goodall.<\/p>\n<p>3 Vide Du Cange, ad verb.<\/p>\n<p>PEEFACE.<\/p>\n<p>XXXV<\/p>\n<p>Pope as &#8221; Summo et universali Papse Romano.&#8221; Frequent as was the<br \/>\nintercourse between the Scotican churches and Rome, active as was<br \/>\nthe Papal interference with the Culdees in the days of their decline,<br \/>\nthis peculiar form would not be used till the Hildebrandine ideas<br \/>\nprevailed in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>However, though this litany in its present form has no just<br \/>\npretensions to the extreme antiquity assigned to it, there is no reason<br \/>\nto believe that it is not a pre-Reformation document. Yea, rather,<br \/>\nit seems to bear upon its face traces of the same spirit which dictated<br \/>\nthe publication of the Breviary of Aberdeen. Just as in that valu-<br \/>\nable work we see evidences of the desire to systematise the native<br \/>\nhagiology by the incorporation of the old legends and lives ; so in<br \/>\nthis litany we see the increased light thrown on Scottish history by<br \/>\nBoece&#8217;s publication employed to excite the devotion of the people.<br \/>\nThe light may have proved to be an ignis fatuus, as those who<br \/>\ndiscredit Boece would maintain ; but we must respect the motive<br \/>\nthat would thus seek to rekindle the flames of devotion at the lamp<br \/>\nof history. Probably the present form is based upon an elder docu-<br \/>\nment. In any case the compilation is not likely to have been made<br \/>\nat Ratisbon. There is too much local colouring. There is the absence<br \/>\nof any allusion to the unspeakable calamities that had befallen the<br \/>\nancient Church. An ideal litany for the restored Catholic Church of<br \/>\nScotland would not specially pray against catherans, robbers, and<br \/>\nwolves. It would have some allusion to the progress and effects of<br \/>\nheresy.<\/p>\n<p>On the whole, then, I am disposed to believe that it is a genuine<br \/>\ndocument, really connected with the diocese of Dunkeld. As a<br \/>\nmatter of fact, we know that by the exertions of Bishop George<br \/>\nBrown, who presided over the diocese from 1484 till 1515, a great<br \/>\neffort at reformation took place. &#8221; This Bishop has the reputation of<br \/>\nhaving been a very good man, and a strict observer of discipline, and<br \/>\nthat he wrought no small reformation in all parts of his diocese\/&#8217;1<\/p>\n<p>1 Keith&#8217;s Scottish Bishops, p. 92, ed.
