Note
(Entered by Ava Byrne)
This manuscript was archived as one of four connected manuscripts of various dates, known as the Didrefn Gasgliad ('A Miscellany'), in the seventeenth century, according to Gadsden (p. 44). This manuscript was the second volume of four, as indicated by the pagination (beginning p. 206).
Note on dating: Gadsden's sources suggest the manuscript was produced either in the 'mid c15' or 'second half of the 15th century' - the dates given here are therefore approximations of these.Authorship & Production
