Synopsis

Excerpt from Welsh Medieval Law Being a Text of the Laws of Howel the Good: Namely the British Museum Harleian Ms. Of the 13th Century, With Translation, Introduction, Appendix, Glossary, Index, and a Map

Not one of the law books bearing the name of Howel Dda, which have come down to us from the Welsh medieval age, is older than the last quarter of the twelfth century, that is, about 2 50 years after Howel's death. The earliest of all, the Peniarth ms. Is written in Latin with many Welsh terms, phrases, and short passages left untranslated. Next to this comes the Peniarth ms. 29 (ms. A), sometimes known as the Black Book of C/zz'rk, and written in Welsh about 1200. Neither of these professes to be the original codex of the White House, nor does that claim appear to be made by any ms. Of the laws now extant.
