Scope and content
Welsh translation, written c. 1775, of Dares Phrygius and Historia Regum Britanniae. This version of Dares Phrygius is said to agree closely with the test of Jesus College 61 (Red Book of Hergest, Vol. II, p. xx), whilst the version of the Historia Regum Britanniae is one of the compiled versions of Geoffrey's Brut (Red Book, II, xviii). In a note on p. 151 John Prichard claims authorship of this revised text.
