Years of reading difficult manuscripts in dull light were perhaps the cause of Anderson's failing eye-sight, and for a large period of time, he relied on his graduate student (subsequently his wife) Marjorie Ogilvie Anderson to do much of the readings. Marjorie Ogilvie Anderson ( 9 February 1909 &ndash 27 May 2002) was a Scottish historian and paleographer. Today, most scholars working in early Scottish history regard Anderson's three volumes as among their most essential scholarly possessions. As a result, much of the course of early Scottish historiography was set by what Anderson chose to publish or chose not to publish. In 1990 and 1991, the compilations were reissued by the Stamford-based organisation Paul Watkins Publishing.
