Book Overview

Monasticon V1 is a historical account of all the abbeys, priories, collegiate churches, and hospitals in Scotland during the Reformation.

The author, John Spotiswood, was a Scottish historian and bishop who lived in the 17th century. His work was later expanded upon and edited by other scholars to create this comprehensive volume. The book includes information on the founding of each institution, its history, and its eventual dissolution during the Reformation. It also includes illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the locations and structures of these important religious sites.
