Note 290 — Chapter VI · THE TRIBE IN SCOTLAND.
Reading edition
Craig arrives at the true meaning when he says, ‘Meo quidem judicio melius a canone deducetur, cum idem prope significet. Canon enim in jure præstationem annuam sive pensitationem innuit, unde canon frumentarius et canon metallicus.... Est itaque Cana idem quod Canica, sive Canon, sive certa præstatio annua, quæ nunquam naturam feudi per se, neque speciem tenendriæ immutat, ut nulla alia præstatio annua, nisi exprimatur tenenda in feudifirma.’—Jus feudale, pp. 79, 28.
