Late August: the daylight hours are waning but the garden is still toodling along and I’ve been swamped with a zillion projects. It has taken me nearly the entire month, but I’ve finally compiled my August list of fun and interesting links – I hope you enjoy them! At this school in Gatineau, Quebec, a boulevard of dead ash trees were transformed into art, thanks to some very talented wood…

And so it begins…
Welcome to my blog, a commentary on the life of my MPhil:
“A transcription and commentary of NLW 5267”
Essentially, I’m attempting to make an edition of a 15th century Welsh manuscript known as ‘Y Casgliad Brith’- The speckled collection. Which is a lot more fun than it sounds. :)
The manuscript hasn’t really been looked at before (beyond a cursory glance or two) and it’s got a whole host of crazy things in it. It was written in 1438 in the hand of Siancyn ap Dafydd ap Gruffudd. The texts themselves are a mixture of Religious, scientific, and historical texts, including the life of St Catharine, Proverbs, and the Welsh ‘Delw y Byd’,a treatise on geography.
So, are you ready to take the journey with me? I promise it will be fun!
All the best,
Rebecca.
Good luck!
