15. Buchedd Lawrens y Deacon

edited by Alaw Mai Edwards

Manuscripts

The earliest copy of this life is in Llst 34 which was copied at the end of the sixteenth century (c.1580 x 1600) by Roger Morris of Coedytalwrn (see RepWM). In this large collection of saints’ Lives, the text follows Buchedd Nicolas and precedes Buchedd Silfester. There are later copies of the text in Pen 217 and in Llst 104; both are independent copies of the text in Llst 34.
