Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanæ, Vol. 7: The Succession of Ministers in the Church of Scotland From the Refomation With the present volume the work of preparing a new edition of Fasti Ecclesioe Scoticanoe comes to a completion. The genesis of the undertaking may be recalled. An Overture was presented to the General Assembly in the following terms: - "Whereas the publication known as Dr Hew Scott´s Fasti Ecclesioe Scoticanoe contains valuable information relative to the ministers of the Church from an early period; whereas it is desirable to continue a record of the succession of ministers in the various parishes since the date of that publication; and whereas this can be most conveniently carried out by a Committee representing the Church: It is humbly Overtured by the undersigned Members of the House to the Venerable the General Assembly to appoint a Committee to collect material for the continuance of the record up to the present date; or to do otherwise as the Assembly may see fit." Of eight signatories it may be stated that three only survive, while of ten members who constituted the Editorial Committee of 1914, four only remain. During the earlier stages of conference as to the precise arrangement of the work, a decision was arrived at which entirely altered its original design of merely continuing Dr Hew Scott´s Fasti from 1839 to the present time. That decision involved a complete revision of all Dr Scott´s Volumes, and to this extended scheme the General Assembly gave cordial approval. The seven Volumes now issued, therefore, have been compiled and re-written following a careful perusal, not only of the documents (chiefly Presbytery Registers) available to Dr Scott, but also of numerous others to which he had no access, and which, indeed, were unknown to him, many of them having been discovered within recent years. In addition, the Editors have had the advantage of reading a very large number of Local, Family and General Histories published since Dr Scott´s day.
