A manuscript containing the Life of Griffith ap Kynan in Welsh and Latin (original foliation 1-40); and the Burial of Arthur (original foliation 45-52). Ff. 1-52 (original foliation) are written on one side only. The text of the Life of Griffith ap Kynan is complete, and agrees practically with that printed in the Myvyrian Archaiology. It is followed (original foliation 1-43) by a Latinised version entitled 'Vita Griffini Regis Venedotiæ a Thelwello juris perito in Latinum conversa' - against which is written in the margin: 'dele in Codice Sebright' - with, below, the title 'Vita Griffini Filij Conani Regis Venedotiæ' - against which is written 'In Latinum tradita per Nicholas Robinson episcopum Bangoriensem [1566-1584] - Cod[ice] Seb[right]' (cf. John Davies, Display of Heraldry (Salop, 1716), p. 11). Cf. Peniarth MSS 17, 267, 276 and Panton MS 26.
