Imprimatur: + GEORGIUS, Ep. Aberd. INTRODUCTION The title of Scottish, applied to the holy ones whose names occur in these short notices, must be understood to refer not so much to their nationality as to the field in which, they laboured or the localities where traces of their cultus are to be found. The Calendar here submitted does not pretend to be exhaustive; the saints therein noted are those who appear prominently in such records as remain to us and in the place-names which still recall their personalities. In this new edition much additional information has been inserted, and many emendations made to render the Calendar as complete as possible.

ISSN 0020-157X http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/8119/ Deposited on: 06 November 2009 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk The Innes Review vol. 58 no. 2 (Autumn 2007) 173–195 DOI: 10.3366/E0020157X07000054 Steven John Reid Aberdeen’s ‘Toun College’: Marischal College, 1593–1623 Introduction While debate has arisen in the past two decades regarding the foundation of Edinburgh University, by contrast the foundation and early development of Marischal College, Aberdeen, has received little attention. This is particularly surprising when one considers it is perhaps the closest Scottish parallel to the Edinburgh foundation. Founded in April 1593 by George Keith, fifth Earl Marischal in the burgh of New Aberdeen ‘to do the utmost good to the Church, the Country and the Commonwealth’,1 like Edinburgh Marischal was a new type of institution that had more in common with the Protestant ‘arts colleges’ springing up across the continent than with the papally sanctioned Scottish universities of St Andrews, Glasgow and King’s College in Old Aberdeen.2 James Kirk is the most recent in a long line of historians to argue that the impetus for founding ‘ane college of theologe’ in Edinburgh in 1579 was carried forward by the radical presbyterian James Lawson, which led to the eventual opening on 14 October 1583 of a liberal arts college in the burgh, as part of an educational reform programme devised and rolled out across the Scottish universities by the divine and educational reformer, Andrew Melville.3 However, in a self-professedly revisionist article Michael Lynch has argued that the college settlement was far more protracted and contingent on burgh politics than the simple insertion of a one-size 1 Fasti Academiae Mariscallanae Aberdonensis: Selections from the Records of the Marischal College and University, MDXCIII–MDCCCLX, ed.

  • 14 Councils, Counsel and the Seventeenth-Century Composite
    1 14 Councils, Counsel and the Seventeenth-Century Composite State* JACQUELINE ROSE In the closing pages of his treatise ‘Of the union of Britayne’, the Presbyterian clergyman Robert Pont sought to reassure his fellow Scots and English neighbours that a union of their kingdoms merely enlarged and would not change their commonwealth. ‘If any small differences arise’, Pont blithely declared, ‘they wil be by sage counsel easily reconcyled’.1 In the honeymoon days of 1604, when James VI’s accession to the throne of England seemed to promise the fulfilment of God’s plan for a Protestant British imperium, Pont’s optimism was excusable. His reticence in spelling out the details of joint or coordinate British conciliar mechanisms was, in part, a typical humanist adherence to the moral economy of counsel which floated loftily above institutional specificities. Pont’s interlocutors express admiration for a princely commonwealth which is tempered by aristocracy. Both England and Scotland avoided the risk of tyranny by founding their commonwealths ‘upon such a ground, where one kinge by the counsell of his nobility ruled all’.2 This was less English ancient constitutionalism than Scottish aristocratic conciliarism. But Pont’s silence on the details of British councils was typical of many writers in the Jacobean union debates and beyond. * My thanks to all those who commented on drafts of this article. 1 The Jacobean Union: Six Tracts of 1604, ed.
