The Maitland Manuscripts are an important source for the Scots literature of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries. They contain texts of the work of the makars of the period and much material which is not attributed to any author. There are two manuscripts, one in quarto form and another in folio form. The folio manuscript largely consists of works by the leading authors of the era. The quarto manuscript is dominated by Mailtand's own writing. The manuscripts are held in the Pepys Library of Magdelene College, Cambridge
