With an intriguing early manuscript inscription on the title page "Ex Libris Joannis Row". John Knox (c. 1514-1572) was the founder of Scottish Presbyterianism. He was aided by John Row (c. 1525-1580). Row had been appointed as the Pope's personal messenger in Scotland, to spy out the work of the Reformation and report back to the Vatican. This plan backfired, as Row observed and exposed a false "miracle" (restoring sight to a 'blind' person). "A friendship grew between him and John Knox, and by the Spring of 1559 he had become a Protestant reformer. Such was the reformers' esteem for John Row, that he was selected, with John Knox and four other Johns, to put together the Scots' Confession of Protestant faith in 1560, which was ratified by the Scottish Parliament. "* There are a series of sons named John Row after John Row (Reformer) (1525-1580); John Row (Carnock minister) (1568-1646); John Row, (1598-1672); John Row, minister of St. Bride's in Dalgety (b. 1645?). We were not able to trace them to the point where ownership in 1732 could be ascertained.
