Nodyn | Note
Previous titles and classifications of manuscripts can be found in
[generalNote]:
the individual file descriptions. Except when a well-known historic
or recognised title exists the title is based on the contents of the
manuscript. The collection was catalogued in the 1860s by W. W.
E. Wynne, who retained earlier Hengwrt MS numbers, mainly the
work of Aneurin Owen, and numbered the Peniarth MSS for the
first time (these are now referred to as 'Ancient Peniarth' numbers).
J. Gwenogvryn Evans radically re-numbered all the Hengwrt and
Peniarth manuscripts in a single sequence whilst compiling his
Report on Manuscripts in the Welsh Language (1898-1905). With
the exception of Peniarth MSS 540-561, which were numbered
at NLW, these remain the Peniarth numbers in use today. Unless
otherwise noted suggested dates have been based on the information
found in the previous catalogues (see file descriptions); the dates
for manuscripts earlier than 1540 containing Welsh material have
been taken from Daniel Huws, Medieval Welsh Manuscripts
(Aberystwyth, 2000).

subsequent sales and presumably remain at Peniarth.

In November 1957 Colonel J. F. Williams-Wynne of Peniarth loaned
[generalNote]:
Peniarth MSS 234, 426 and 458 to the Library in order to allow
facsimiles to be made. The manuscripts listed in this catalogue as
Peniarth MSS 426 and 458 are those facsimiles, rather than the
originals; when Peniarth MS 234 was purchased at auction in 1980
its facsimile became Peniarth MS 234ii.

Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history

Much of the collection was acquired and collected by the seventeenth-century antiquary Robert Vaughan
(1592?-1666) of Hengwrt, Merionethshire. The collection remained at Hengwrt until the death of
Vaughan's great-great-great-great grandson, Sir Robert Williames Vaughan, 3rd baronet, in 1859.
The books and manuscripts at Hengwrt then passed by bequest to William Watkin Edward Wynne
(1801-1880) of Peniarth, near Tywyn, Merionethshire, adding to his already substantial collection. In
May 1904 his son, W. R. M. Wynne, agreed to sell to Sir John Williams (1840-1926) the reversion of
the Peniarth manuscripts after the death of the survivor of Wynne and his brother, with the intention that
they should become part of the foundation collection of the proposed National Library of Wales. On
W. R. M. Wynne's death in February 1909 the majority of the Peniarth collection, including the entire
Hengwrt portion, was duly transferred to the newly established National Library. For further information
see Handlist of Manuscripts in the National Library of Wales, 10 vols (1940-2003), I (1940-43), pp. iii-
xxiii.

Chaucer, Geoffrey, -1400
A late fourteenth-, or early fifteenth-century manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales,
lacking VIII(G)554-1481 (i.e., the Canon’s Yeoman’s Prologue and Tale); X(I)1180-end lost).Doyle
and Parkes’s ‘Scribe B’, the scribe of the Hengwrt Chaucer, has long been identified as having also been
responsible for writing other manuscripts, including the Ellesmere Chaucer (Huntington Library MS 26 C
9). He was identified in 2006 by Linne Mooney as Adam Pinkhurst, a London-based scrivener associated
with Chaucer.
Varying form of title: Chaucer Hengwrt.
Previously Hengwrt MS 154.
Title supplied by NLW cataloguers based on contents and modern usage.
Siglum Hg.
Pencil foliations begin with the first page as 2, possibly as the ‘leaf from an early-fourteenth-century
Sarum breviary with musical notation’ was formerly bound with the text as f. 1 (Doyle and Parkes 1979,
p. xlii).
Script: anglicana formata, with double-compartment a, and looped ascenders on b and d, now identified
as the hand of Adam Pinkhurst. The supplementary five hands include that of Thomas Hoccleve (on ff.
88 verso, 138 verso and 150).
Ink: dark brown, or grey-ish brown.
Decoration: The opening page (f. 2) begins with a 7-line initial W in blue, gold, red and pink. The text
is surrounded by a full border–bars of the same colors, decorated with knots and trefoils–although the
heading (‘Here bygynneth the Book of the tales of Cauntbury’), in a gold-brown ink, is above, and in
places overlapped by, the top bar. Two-line blue initials with red penwork mark the openings of tales,
prologues, and links. Smaller blue paraphs mark lesser textual divisions and glosses.
Marginalia: names of pilgrims in left margin of the Prologue, and Latin quotations and other glosses
thereafter in right margin.
Ruled: Single columns of 39-44 lines per page. Ruled in dry point with pricks, some folios ruled in lead.
Collation: 1-5(8), 6(2), 7(6), 8-11(8), 12(6), 13-20(8), 21(8+1), 22(8+8), 23-28(8), 29(10), 30-31(8).
