Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content A volume containing a copy, in a hand of the second half of the sixteenth-century, of a verse play in Middle Cornish, based upon the life of St Kea, a Celtic saint venerated in Cornwall and Brittany (see Albert le Grand (de Morlaix), Les vies des saints de la Bretagne Armorique (Quimper, 5th edition, 1901), pp. 561-567) (ff. 1-8 verso). The second part of the text (ff. 9-20 verso) derives from the accounts given in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniæ (Books ix.15, x.1-13, xi. 1-2) of King Arthur's quarrel with the Roman emperor Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 NLW MS 23849D [RESTRICTED ACCESS].

Nodiadau | Notes Nodiadau teitl | Title notes Gyflwr ffisegol | Physical condition The text is imperfect owing to the loss of at least five folios at both the beginning and end and two folios each between ff. 8 and 9 and ff. 12 and 13; the words 'Secundo', 'Tertio' and 'Quarto' at the top of ff. 9, 10 and 11 verso respectively would imply that only one folio is missing at the beginning of the Arthurian play and by inference only one folio before the Arthurian sequence; several folios damaged, and repaired with some loss of text.
