Red Book of Hergest
The Red Book of Hergest ((ウェールズ語:Llyfr Coch Hergest)) is a large vellum manuscript written shortly after 1382, which ranks as one of the most important medieval manuscripts written in the Welsh language. It preserves a collection of Welsh prose and poetry, notably the tales of the Mabinogion, Gogynfeirdd poetry. The manuscript derives its name from the colour of its leather binding and from its association with Hergest Court between the late 15th and early 17th century.
==Compilation==
The manuscript was written between about 1382 and 1410. One of the several copyists responsible for the manuscript has been identified as Hywel Fychan fab Hywel Goch of Buellt. He is known to have worked for Hopcyn ap Tomas ab Einion (''c''. 1330 – after 1403) of Ynysforgan, Swansea, and it is possible that the manuscript was compiled for Hopcyn.
According to scholar Daniel Huws, it is "by far the heaviest of the medieval books in Welsh, the largest in its dimensions () and the thickest".〔Cited in "Oxford Jesus College 111: An Electronic Edition", ''Welsh Prose 1350–1425''〕
