INTRODUCTION
Table of Contents
In his collection of Scottish proverbs from literary texts written before 1600 Bartlett Jere Whiting has laid a solid foundation for the investigation of early Scottish proverbs and has promised a survey of later collections. 1 The following brief remarks are not intended to anticipate his survey but rather to suggest the place of this particular collection in the historical development and to point out the questions that it raises. Before 1600 men in Scotland had begun to make collections of proverbs. A manuscript collection made by Archbishop James Beaton (1517-1603) seems to have disappeared, but may survive in a form disguised beyond all chance of recognition. Although editions of it published in 1610, 1614, and divers other Years
with Mr. Fergusson's Additions
have been reported, no copies of them have been found. 2 Mr. Fergusson
is no doubt David Fergusson (ca. 1525-1598), whose Scottish Proverbs was published at Edinburgh in 1641. 3 This collection presumably includes the earlier gatherings by Beaton and Fergusson, but is arranged in a rough alphabetical order that makes it impossible to recognize its possible sources. According to Beveridge, it contains 911 proverbs.4 A new edition of 1659 and the subsequent editions down to and including that of 1716 announced themselves as Nine hundred and fourty Scottish Proverbs.
In the edition of 1667, according to Beveridge, The proverbs are numbered to 945; but no doubt there are omissions, as in ... 1692.
The edition of 1692 also runs to 945, with 14 numbers omitted and one number duplicated,
making a total of 932, and in the edition of 1706 a fifteenth number is omitted.
5 No information about the editions of 1709 and 1716 is available. The edition of 1799 was reduced to 577 items.
Two manuscripts that were probably written in the first half of the seventeenth century belong to the tradition represented by Fergusson's collection but differ more or less widely from it in ways that require further study. Beveridge,
