2. Canu Tysilio
edited by Ann Parry Owen
J 111, 1165–9
A compendium of texts copied between c.1382 and c.1410, mainly by Hywel Fychan ap Hywel Goch of Buellt, who copied this poem. Hywel Fychan worked under commission for Hopgyn ap Tomas ab Einion of Ynysforgan near Swansea(see RepWM). This poem is found in the manuscript amidst other religious poems by Poets of the Princes.
Notes
on
the
transcription
• It is often difficult to decide whether or not there is a space between words. J. Gwenogvryn Evans used a half-space in his transcription in R to denote a smaller space than usual. It was the scribe’s usual practice to attach some pronouns, relative pronouns, conjunctions
and prepositions without a space to the word that followed.
• It can be difficult to distinguish between minims (ui, ni, m, c.) ac also between c and t; b and h; b and v.
• There are three different types of a in the text – the capital letter, the lower-case letter, and a lower-case letter which has been enlarged. The former is transcribed
as an upper-case letter, and the two latter as lower case.
• The red and blue inks of the manuscript have been reproduced in the transcription. Apart from the first letter of each caniad, the red or blue ink has been added to letters that had already been written with the usual black ink.
• The numbers \1\, &c., denote the line number in the edited text.
