The manuscript contains a copy of Ystoriau Saint Greal, complete except for one missing folio. This manuscript was used by the Reverend Robert Williams as the single source for his 1870 edition of that text, Y Seint Greal. It was also the main source for Thomas Jones in his edition of the first part of the text, Ystoryaeu Seint Greal Rhan I: Y Keis, published in 1992.

The following texts were consulted during the transcription of the manuscript:

Jones, Thomas. ed. 1992. Ystoryaeu Seint Greal Rhan I: Y Keis. Cardiff: University of Wales Press.
Williams, Robert. ed. 1870. Y Seint Greal. London: T. Richards.

Supplied text in the present edition is drawn from Jones (1992).

Foliation is found in the top right corner of each recto page.

There are two folios labelled 50. The letter b has been inserted after the second instance by a later hand.

Folio 82 is misplaced in the manuscript: it should follow folio 80 instead of folio 81.

Folio 177 is missing.

There are two folios labelled 198. The letter b has been inserted after the second instance by a later hand.

There are two folios labelled 203. The letter b has been inserted after the second instance by a later hand.

There are two folios labelled 264. The letter b has been inserted after the second instance by a later hand.

Catchwords are occasionally found in the bottom right hand corner of the page; others may have been cut out later as a result of the process of binding. All catchwords are in the hand of the main scribe unless otherwise noted. Examples may be seen at 10v: yma y mae; 20v: fford da.; 30v: heb ef; 40v: y linyeu; 50a v: y losgi; 59v: na allei; 69v: a phany bei; 79v: yr oed; 89v: ymchoelut; 99v: llaỽd ar; 119v: mab; 129v: heb y; 139v: yd oed; 146v: ac ar hynny; 156v: glỽyd; 166v: gemeu; 187v: naỽt; 197v: ac os tydi; 214v: ac yd oedem; 224v: dyly; 234v: glỽyd; 244v: a uv iach; 254v: onys caffei; 264a v: hynny; 273v: varchaỽc

The manuscript is in good condition, although folio 177 is missing.

The text is written in a single column of 26 lines to each page.

The manuscript is written in the late-fourteenth-century rounded textura hand of Hywel Fychan. This scribe also penned Philadelphia 8680, which contains a copy of Ystoria Dared and Brut y Brenhinoedd, Oxford Jesus College 57 which contains a copy of Llyfr Blegywryd, parts of the Red Book of Hergest (Oxford Jesus College 111), and the three manuscripts which comprised the Red Book of Talgarth (Llanstephan 27, Peniarth 12 and pages 101-112 of Cardiff 3.242), a compendium of religious texts.

‘Hywel Fychan’

Though words are separated by clearly distinguishable spaces throughout most of the manuscript, in some places it is not clear whether items are to be taken to represent one word or two.

Hywel Fychan uses both regular and medial <a>. The medial <a> often serves almost as a capital, and is commonly found at the beginning of names and clauses.

The difference between some of the capitals and small forms can be slight. This is especially so when the capital is simply a slightly larger version of the small form. Examples of such capitals are:

<J> 30r.25, 32r.25
<K> 32r.24
<V> 106v.16, 108v.11
<W> 11r.22, 29v.4, 132v.21, 275r.1
<Y> 3r.2, 3r.15, 30r.15 etc.

The orthography does not appear to differ substantially from expected forms.

The text contains a number of common abbreviations. These have been expanded in the transcription to the forms that are given elsewhere in the text itself rather than to standard or dictionary forms.

macron for <n>: alla[n] 2v.2; attu[n]t 16v.24; bre[n] 7r.4; bren[n] 13v.12; brenhi[n] 8v.26 etc.
macron for <m>: chy[m]meint 83v.23; gorchy[m]myn 83v.25; lly[m]maf 87r.7 etc.; y[m]ma 2v.4
<²> for <er>: amh[er]aỽdyr 149v.16; gorthrymd[er] 201v.8
<a> above a letter for <ra>: mileind[ra] 176r.23 ysg[ra]ff: 231v.6
above a letter for <ri>: dist[ri]ywyaỽ 274r.22; d[ri]st 273v.8; g[ri]duan 175r.11; g[ri]st 15v.16, 109r.19; p[ri]odas 233r.25; ysg[ri]ue[n]nu 109v.22, 109v.23
<⁹> for <ur>: ant[ur] 203a v.10, 209v.12; arth[ur] 3r.19, 3v.15, 4r.20 etc.; phered[ur] 9v.6, 35r.24, 35v.18 etc.; ruth[ur] 168v.19; wneuth[ur] 1v.11, 2r.15, 109.24 etc.
<⁹> for <us>: bandymag[us] 11v.19, 13r.2; crevyd[us] 35v.22; uaspasian[us] 17r.2; lucan[us] 224v.10; mari[us] 137r.18; oval[us] 208v.4; pilat[us] 17r.6; tolome[us] 14r.2, 14v.12
with a crossed tail for <per>: gosp[er] 6r.26; p[er]edur 35r.25

Hywel also abbreviates certain commonly occuring names and words:

<ar⁹> for <arthur> 203b.7, 203b.18
<dd> for <dauyd> 4r.3, 16v.10, 51r.13, 87r.7, 88r.15
<Jn> for <Jeuan> 149r.1, 149v.2
<laỽnsl[ot]> 1r.14
<laỽns[lot]> 161v.26, 162r.21, 162v.8, etc.
<or^c> for <oruc> 120r.13, 148v.21, 168r.7, 271r.24, 276r.9

Punctuation consists of the punctus and the punctus elevatus.

In some cases the scribe has attempted to correct his work by adding a missing minim instead of an entire letter above the line. An example is at 11r2: <peniiaf> (for 'pennaf').

The decoration consists in the main of large decorated initials in red and green ink, as well as lively line-drawings in the bottom margins of some pages. Examples of line-drawings may be seen in the bottom margins at:

8r: hand
16v: dog with tongue out
17r: hand
20r: hand
34r: hand
46r: dog
50a r: hand
61v: hand

123v: hand
126v: dog with tongue out
147r: dog
157r: dog

In some cases the drawings are associated with catchwords. Examples may be seen at:

10v: dog
20v: dog with tongue out and hand
30v: dog
40v: two dog
50a v: dog and hand
59v: dog with tongue out

224v: hand with fingers pointing
234v: hand
244v: dog
254v: dog with tongue out
264a v: hand
273v: dog

In some places the scribe or decorator has drawn pictures, often of fish or human faces, into the decorated letters found at the tops of lines. Examples may be seen at:

47r.1: (fish)
67v.1: (fish)
72v.1: <K> (face)
117r.1: <A> (fish)
135r.1: <A> (face)
150v.1: <A> (face)
151v.1: <A> (fish)
152v.1: <A> (face)
168r.1: <A> (face)
168v.1: <A>: (face)
169v.1: <A> (fish)
170r.1: <V> (?)
171v.1: <A> (face)
173v.1: <Y> (face)
175r.1: <Y>: (face)
175v.1: (fish)
207v: <A>: (face)
208v: <D> (fish)
211v.1: <A> (face)
212v.1: <A> (face)
230v.1: <L> (bird's head)
233r.1: <G> (?)
269v.1: (face)
276r.1: <K> (face)

In many places where there are coloured initial letters, the scribe has indicated what the letter should be and this smaller form appears in the left margin. Examples are:

<N>: 87r.2
: 89r.12
<M>: 113r.13, 128r.14
<A>: 114v.14, 123v.25

There are some marginalia in later hands in the manuscript which have not been included in the transcription.

Nota marks are to be found in the margins of many pages in the hand of the main scribe. Examples may be seen at 20r.1 and 207v.11.

Notes in a number of modern hands precede the manuscript and are bound with it.

vi r-vii v: letter from Thos. Stephens (Merthyr Tydfil, Feb. 6 1860)

The manuscript was produced at the end of the fourteenth or the beginning of the fifteenth century in Wales (Huws 2000: 60).

On the basis of an awdl to Hopcyn ap Tomas by Dafydd y Coed in the Red Book of Hergest (Oxford Jesus College 111), Thomas Jones suggested that Hopcyn might have comissioned this manuscript from Hywel Fychan. The awdl states that amongst the books to be found in Hopcyn’s court were ‘… y Lucidarius/ A’r Greal ar Ynyales/ A grym pob kyfreith ae gras (quoted in James 1993: 17). The ‘Greal’ in this verse could refer to Peniarth 11, which contains that text in the hand of a scribe known to have worked for Hopcyn (Jones 1943: xx). Hywel Fychan is known to have produced manuscripts for Hopcyn ap Tomas, as his colophon in Philadelphia 8680 attests: ‘y llyuyr hwnn a yscriuennwys howel vychan uab howel goch o uuellt yn llwyr onys gwnaeth agkof adaw geir neu lythyren. o arch a gorchymun y vaester nyt amgen Hopkyn uab thomas uab einawn’.

However a note in NLW Mostyn 184, which contains a copy of Ystoriau Saint Greal, claims that the text was copied from a manuscript owned by Trahaearn ab Ieuan ab Meurig: ‘Y copi kynttaf a ysgrivennod Mastir phylip dauyd o vnic lyfyr y vrdedic ewythr Trahaearn ab Ieuan ab Mauric. Ar llyfyr hwnn a beris syr rys vab th. i esgrifennu ar y gost e hun’ (quoted in Evans 1898-1910: 274). Is the Rhys ap Tomas mentioned here the same person as the Rhys ap Tomas ab Einiawn mentioned in the Latin prayers in Llanstephan 27 (The Red Book of Talgarth), which is also in the hand of Hywel Fychan? Brynley Roberts (1967: 224) suggested that Rhys ap Tomas ab Einiawn was brother to the Hopcyn ap Tomas ab Einiawn who commissioned Hywel Fychan and his collaborators to write the Red Book of Hergest, and that this same Rhys ap Tomas ab Einiawn was responsible for commissioning the translation of Ffordd y Brawd Odrig, according to a note appended to that text: 'Ac uelly y teruyna Siwrnei y Brawt Odoric yn India; yr hwnn a drossawd Syre Dafyd Bychein o Vorgannwc o arch a damunet Rys ap Thomas vab Einyawn, y veystyr ef' (quoted in James 1993: 30).

NLW Mostyn 184 is a copy of Peniarth 11. According to the note in the text quoted above, it was copied from a book in the possession of Trahaearn ab Ieuan ab Meurig, apparently by his nephew, who calls himself ‘Mastir Phylip Dauyd’. Ifor Williams (1939: 362) identified this Trahaearn with Trahaearn ab Ieuan ap Meurig ap Hywel Gam of Penrhos Fwrdios in the vicinity of Caerleon. Christine James (1993: 304) follows Williams in suggesting that Peniarth 11 is the manuscript referred to by Guto’r Glyn in his request to Trahaearn ab Ieuan ap Meurig to borrow ‘Y Greal’ for Dafydd abbot of Valle Crucis, in poem CXVIII (43), ‘I Erchi Llyfr y Greal’: ‘Echwynrawr oedd iwch anfor/ Y Greal teg i’r wlad hon,/ A llyfr y gwaed, llyfrau gwŷr,/ Lle syrthiodd yn llys Arthur./ Llyfr enwog o farchogion,/ Llyfr at grefft yr holl Ford Gron…./ Benthig hwn, bennaeth y côr/ A gais Dafydd gost Ifor’.

Peniarth 11 was acquired by Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt (1592-1667). It is not known how Vaughan came by most of his manuscripts, but according to a story in the writings of Edward Lhuyd he inherited those in the possession of John Jones of Gellilyfdy on Jones's death about 1658 (Tibbott 1943: iv). The Hengwrt manuscripts were catalogued in 1658 by William Maurice of Cefnybraich, Llansilin (Jones 1943: xvi). The manuscript was bequeathed by Sir Robert Williames Vaughan (d. 1859), the last baronet of Hengwrt, to his friend William Watkin Edward Wynne (1801-1880) of Peniarth in 1859, along with the rest of the Hengwrt collection (Tibbott 1943: viii).

The Hengwrt catalogue was revised first by Aneurin Owen (d. 1851), and then by William Watkin Wynne. This catalogue was published in Archaeologia Cambrensis 1869-1871 (Jones 1943: xv). It was catalogued and re-numbered by J. Gwenogvryn Evans when he examined the collection for the Historical Manuscripts Commission along with the rest of the Peniarth manuscripts, while it was in the possession of W.W.E. Wynne’s son, William Robert Maurice Wynne (d. 1909).

The Peniarth collection was secured for the nascent National Library of Wales by Sir John Williams who, in 1904, paid the Wynne brothers a sum to ensure the reversion of the collection to the Library upon the death of both brothers. The manuscript passed, along with the rest of the collection, to the Library in 1909 (Tibbott 1943: viii).

The Welsh Prose 1350-1425 website is the product of an AHRC funded research project undertaken by staff at the School of Welsh, Cardiff University from 2004 through 2007 called Corff Electronig o Ryddiaith Cymraeg Canol. The aim of this project was to produce machine-readable editions of all the medieval Welsh prose texts which have been preserved in manuscripts dating from c.1350 to c.1425.

The project is a continuation and a development of two previous projects funded by the University of Wales which transcribed the Welsh prose in manuscripts dated to c.1250-c.1350.

The intention is to give scholars access not only to texts that have hitherto remained unedited but also to the different versions of texts that have been the subject of critical editions.

Certain decorative features have been encoded: these may trigger further study of the original manuscripts. Primarily, however, the resource provides detail which it is hoped will further the study of the language and literature of the period.

In producing this edition, the editors have attempted to fulfil two different and often non-complementary if not opposing goals: to present a minimally edited edition of the text, and to represent as many visual features of the manuscript as possible.

Visual features of the text such as layout, and rubrication may prove to be as essential in textual interpretation as features such as punctuation, letter forms, capitalisation and word division, which are more usually invoked by scholars in the field.

The orthography of the original text has been maintained, even where it is idiosyncratic, as the unique characteristics of the scribe's spelling may shed light upon the language of the period as he, his audience, or patron used it. Where the scribe's orthography seems to merit particular attention, an editorial gloss has been added to indicate what the editors believe to have been the target form.

In some places, especially where the manuscript is damaged, the editors have supplied text. This serves the two-fold purpose of presenting a complete text and, perhaps more importantly, of indicating the size of the damaged area.

In order to make editorial intervention as transparent as possible, supplied text is clearly marked off from the manuscript text by a different font. Also in the spirit of editorial transparency, the editors have wherever possible used published editions for supplied text. Text supplied from published editions may suffer from obvious errors or significant differences in orthography from the manuscript text. The editors have refrained from imposing our own editorial actions on such features.

The transcription of this manuscript, as well as the information in this TEI header is based on the microfilm reproduction of the manuscript produced by the National Library of Wales in 1995. As the editors have not checked the transcription against the original, information on the scribal hands, foliation, accompanying materials, colour scheme and ornamentation should be treated as provisional.
