[13 cent., second ½]
Ref:GB 210 NLW Llyfr Aneirin (Cardiff MS 2.81)
Location:National Library of Wales / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
Extent:[21 ff.] paginated i-iv, 1-38 : Parchment ; 160-170 x 127-129 mm. (irregular dimensions, based on measurements taken when the volume was in an unbound state), written space 120-125 x 95 mm. Originally kept unbound in quires, all quires having ties of twisted parchment or leather. Quires 1-3 seem to have been stabbed together (and stitched perhaps between limp covers). Bound for Robert Vaughan in London no later than 1660, using sprinkled calf covers over pasteboard, tooled with double blind fillet (similar to Peniarth MSS 30, 35 and 109). The manuscript was rebound by Julian Thomas in quarter alum-tawed pigskin over plain bevelled oak boards, at NLW in 1986. Robert Vaughan's seventeenth-century covers were retained separately. Parchment tackets and fragments of thread removed from the manuscript in 1986 are retained in a compartmentalised polyester envelope inside the cover of the box which contains the manuscript
