    Ref:GB 210 Brogyntyn MS II.7 [RESTRICTED ACCESS]
    Location:National Library of Wales / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
    Extent:ii, 244 ff. (ff. i-ii, 242-244 are modern fly-leaves, ff. 240-241 were apparently part of the older binding; modern pencil foliation 1-239 in the hand of Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy at bottom left corner of rectos; mid-fourteenth century foliation [53]-199, 1000-1094 in blackish ink in arabic numerals, a slightly later mediaeval foliation 1-144 in reddish-brown, both series with errors; ff. 190-239 should have been placed at the beginning of the volume (see Denholm-Young (1950), pp. xvi-xviii, on the misplacement of the quires by the original binder)) ; 290 x 190 mm. (written space 215 x 130 mm.; 40-42 long lines). Rebound in 1967 at NLW in full dark-red goatskin over Welsh oak boards, tooled in black, with gold lettering on spine, and two clasps (see note on f. 242). This replaced the eighteenth-century vellum binding, in poor condition when the volume reached NLW in 1967; ff. 240-241, which have holes showing the former presence of two metal clasps, formed part of that binding and may well have been paste-downs in an early binding of the volume, presumably concealed by the paper paste-downs mentioned in the re-binders note on f. 242; these two leaves were not mentioned by Denholm-Young (1950), as they would not have come to light when he saw the volume; red leather lettering-pieces from the spine of the eighteenth-century binding have been laid down inside the back cover, and are stamped 'RICHARD DE BURY EPISTOLÆ M.S. VELLUM SÆC. XIV. No 21 PORKINGTON LIBRARY' in gold
