Fragments of the Aberdeen Breviary | 
#OnThisDay in 1507 King James IV granted Walter Chepman and Andrew Myllar a patent for the first printing press in Scotland. With this privilege Chepman and Myllar (sometimes written as Chapman and Miller) began printing popular tracts, mainly short romances, ballads, and poems from Scottish writers and liturgical books with a Scottish character. A few items remain in existence, including The Aberdeen Breviary (pictured). #HistoryGetsLIT
