I was hoping someone better informed than me would pick up on this one! The
article in DWB on Meredudd ap Rhys lists peniarth MSS 74, 128, 132, 287
*and other manuscripts* - which is a fat lot of use! If no-one else comes
up with anything in the course of the day I'll try and have a look at the
great NLW index of Welsh poetry in MS when I'm in Cardiff tomorrow.
may one ask the source of your interest? I am trying to pull together some
ideas on the iconography of late medieval devotion in Wales, mainly in an
attempt to swim against the resolutely pre-revisionist tide which still
prevails in Welsh history. (Which seems a pity when the revisionist
paradigm works so well for Wales)
