Prior Lachteim—Robert Douglas.
—In Bishop Keith's Affairs of Church and State of Scotland, Vol. ii. p. 809., Prior Lachteim is mentioned: will any of your readers inform me who this person was? It is not explained in the note; but it is suggested that by Lachteim Loch Tay is meant. Is this correct?
Query 2. Is there any truth in the report that Mary, queen of Scotland, had a son by George Douglas, who was the father of Robert Douglas, a celebrated Presbyterian preacher during the Covenanting reign of terror in Scotland, after the Glasgow General Assembly in 1638? If, as I suppose, there is no truth in this, what was the parentage and early history of Mr. Robert Douglas? Wodrow notices this report, and says that he was born in England. See Wodrow's Analecta, 4to., 1842, vol. ii. p. 166.: printed for the Bannatyne Club.

Jacobus de Voragine.
—Can any friend give any information respecting an edition of the above author printed at Venice, A.D. 1482? The following is the colophon:—
"Reverendi Fratris Jacobi de Voragine de Sancto cum legendis opus perutile hic finem habet; Venetiis per Andream Jacobi de Catthara impressum: Impensis Octaviani scoti Modoetrensis sub inclyto duce Johanne Moçenico. Anno ab incarnatione domini 1482, die 17 Mensis Maii."
I can find no mention of it either in Panzer or Brunet or Ebert.
