[1350-1425]
Ref:GB 210 NLW MS 24029A
Location:National Library of Wales / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
Extent:101 ff. (foliated [1]-92 by Lhuyd, and continued 93-101 at NLW (in 2012), paginated [1]-198 by an unidentified hand of the 17-18 centuries) : Parchment ; 150 x 95-100 mm. (leaves measured in unbound state), writing frame 105-110 x 70 mm., text block c. 110 x c. 68 mm., 22-26 lines per page. When purchased by NLW, the manuscript was bound on three cords within 19 cent. [c. 1840] American covers of dark blue morocco leather over pasteboards, with 'Welsh Manuscript' lettered on the rebacked spine. Old shelfmarks 'C,101.23' and '10.13' in pencil were visible inside the front cover, and 'C' in ink on the top right corner of the first endpaper. The 101 parchment folios were then interleaved with paper representing missing leaves. Following disbinding at NLW, the paper leaves were removed, and retained, together with the covers. The parchment leaves were resown in 2013 on three cords, following original perforations, with headbands tied in. They were covered with bevelled oak boards, rebated to accommodate the thickness of the alum-tawed leather cover which partially covers the whole, and four leaves of new parchment endpapers were added at the beginning and end
