Stewart of Rosyth, was a continuation of the Chronica Gentis Scotorum of See also:Fordun. The completed work, in its See also:original See also:form, consisted of sixteen books, of which the first five and a portion of the See also:sixth (to 1163) are Fordun's—or mainly his, for Bower added to them at places. In the later books, down to the reign of See also:Robert I. (1371), he was aided by Fordun's Gesta Annalia, but from that point to the See also:close the work is original and of contemporary importance, especially for James I., with whose See also:death it ends. The task was finished in 1447. In the two remaining years of his See also:life he was engaged on a reduction or " abridgment " of this work, which is known as the See also:Book of See also:Cupar, and is preserved in the See also:Advocates' library, See also:Edinburgh (MS. 35. I.
7). Other abridgments, not by Bower, were made about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.
