    The Merthyr Fragment,
    [15 cent., first ¼] /
    Ref:GB 210 NLW MS 21972D [RESTRICTED ACCESS]
    Location:National Library of Wales / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
    Name of creator:
    Chaucer Geoffrey.
    Extent:5 ff. (ff. 1-3 original medieval folios; ff. 4-5 paper fragments of [c. 1800]) : Parchment (ff. 1-3), paper (ff. 4-5) ; approx. 270 x 190 mm., written space approx. 210 x 120 mm. (all dimensions approximate, as a result of damage). Daniel Huws states that 'a series of sewing holes can be seen on all three leaves. These holes show that the manuscript was sewn only once and that the binding was on six bands'. On deposit at the the Library in 1937, the leaves were tipped into a printed copy of John Davies, Antiquae Linguae Britannicae Dictionarium Duplex (London, 1632). The leaves were removed from the copy, and repaired, sometime before 1940, before being returned loose to the copy. In December 1987, the repair work of circa 1940 was removed, and the leaves encapsulated and filed. They were removed from their sleeves for digitisation in November 2013, and in March 2014 placed within individual glass panels to facilitate future handling, storage and exhibition. The file of 1987 has been retained. Condition: The leaves had decayed before they were pasted into the dictionary; many letters are rubbed away and small holes eaten in the parchment. Edges are decayed. The upper part of each leaf has been badly damaged (and f. 2 cut), so that from 10 to 15 lines are lost wholly or partly
