The History of the Church of Scotland by John Spottiswood, is one of the most authoritative cornerstones for understanding Scottish ecclesiastical history. First published in 1655 decades after his death, this work became one of the most important histories on the Church of Scotland, much for its considerable discussions of events involving the Church, biographical sketches of archbishops and bishops, as well as liturgical texts used in the church. This 1678 edition includes an added, dated appendix at the end, which is unlike other editions of History.
