Scope and content
A notebook used by Charlotte Guest, [?1839]-[?1845], mostly to compile lists of titles of notes for each of the Mabinogion tales (except for 'The Lady of the Fountain'). The most substantial list, for 'Kilhwch and Olwen', contains 379 potential notes (ff. 21-34), while a revised list of sixty-three closely corresponds to the titles for the published notes (ff. 46, 47, 48). Drafts of actual notes occur on ff. 14 verso-15 verso, 17, 18, 35-40, 42, 42 and 45. The contents of The Mabinogion... Parts II (1839) and III (1840) are listed on ff. 11 and 14 respectively.
