Fragmentary Scottish Letter of Prester John
Fragmentary Scottish Letter of Prester John, found in Andrew of Wyntoun, Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland (c. 1420-1425)
In his Chronicle of Scotland (c. 1420-1425) Andrew of Wyntoun included a fragment of the Letter of Prester John (ff. 310-311v of British Library MS Royal 17 D XX). This partial text, addressed to Emperor Frederick, furnishes the only example of the Letter in Middle Scots. It also survives as the earliest inclusion of the LOPJ in a vernacular chronicle.
According to Malcolm Letts, the Middle Scots version came through the French and Italian translations of the LOPJ.
