A fragment of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Brut in English, containing most of the life of Arthur, including the prophecies of Merlin, written in anglicana by one hand of the late fifteenth century. Two-line blue initials for chapters; headings, paragraph marks and underlinings in red.
For the text of the manuscript see Brogyntyn Manuscript No. 8, trans. and transcribed by Rosalynn Voaden, introduction by Felicity Riddy (Moreton-in-Marsh: Porkington Press, 1991). For a full text of the Brut, see The Brut; or, The Chronicles of England, ed. by Friedrich W. D. Brie, 2 vols, Early English Texts Society, o.s., 131 and 136 (London, 1906, 1908). Our manuscript begins at the end of Brie's chapter 73 and continues to his chapter 101; his chapter 101 is in ours, followed on f. 18 verso by the beginning of a chapter on Cadwallader which is not in Brie (on the Cadwallader chapter see C. W. Marx, pp. 377-380, and Riddy, p. [vi]).
