Scope and content
Part of a heavily emended draft (ff. 28-47 only, beginning and end missing), in pencil and ink, of the English translation of 'Peredur ab Efrawc' in the hand of Charlotte Guest [see Mabinogion (1849), I, 329-356] (A3/3); and drafts of each of the eighteen notes on the text of 'Peredur ab Efrawc' [see Mabinogion (1849), I, 371-383], together with the note on the 'Manuscript of Peredur in the Bosanquet Collection' [see Mabinogion (1849), I, 384] (A3/4).
The work of translating 'Peredur ab Efrawc' was accomplished almost entirely in a seven week period in April and May 1839 (NLW, Lady Charlotte Guest Manuscripts XI, p. 126). It was first published in The Mabinogion… Part II: Peredur the Son of Evrawc (London and Llandovery, 1839).
