Note 590 — Chapter II · SUMMARY.
Reading edition
Compotus of Kirkaldy of Grange.—“Moneys expended on Lord James, now Prior of St. Andrews, and the Lady Jane, his sister. Part of these were for making ane canabé to the Lady Jane, with nine ells of yellow, nine ells of green, and nine ells of red serge.” The French call a sofa canapé; but this article of furniture must not be thus considered, since charges occur for a knob to the head of the said canabé.
