Scope and content
Drafts, [1839], in the hand of Charlotte Guest, of each of the thirty-nine notes on the text of 'Geraint ab Erbin' [see Mabinogion (1849), II, 142-176] (A4/4); together with the note on the 'Manuscript of Geraint in the Hengwrt Collection' [Mabinogion (1849), II, 177] and the first two leaves of the note on 'Erec and Eneide' [Mabinogion (1849), II, 178-179] (A4/5).
Note No. 15, 'In her veil', is not found in the printed version; the gaps in the numbering (Nos 4, 30-31, 33, 42) are suggestive of other omissions. The text was first published in The Mabinogion… Part III: Geraint the Son of Erbin (London and Llandovery, 1840).
