Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn.

They established their print shop in Edinburgh and on 4 April 1508 they issued the first book known to have been printed in Scotland, The Complaint of the Black Knight. Nothing of his life after 1508 is known and there is no evidence that he was involved with the printing of the Aberdeen Breviary in 1510 which was financed by Chepman and was the main reason for the introduction of the printing press to Scotland. Background Myllar was a burgess (title), burgess of Edinburgh and a bookseller, but perhaps combined the sale of books with some other occupation. On 29 March 1503 the sum of 10 Pound Scot ...
