The completed work, in its See also:original See also:form, consisted of sixteen books, of which the first five and a portion of the See also:sixth (to 1163) are Fordun's—or mainly his, for See also:Bower added to them at places
.
In the later books, down to the reign of See also:Robert I

In the two remaining years of his See also:life he was engaged on a reduction or " abridgment " of this work, which is known as the See also:Book of See also:Cupar, and is preserved in the See also:Advocates' library, See also:Edinburgh (MS
