This manuscript caused a huge stir when it was discovered in Wales only 20 years ago, in the papers of an academic after his death. It is a total mystery where it had been for 500 years. Many pages are missing from this manuscript, but this is the first existing page. It starts, in the top left, with the stage direction in Latin, "Keladocus surgit" (St Kea stands up). His speech is in Cornish. The top of the document has been eaten by rodents! Images are courtesy of The National Library of Wales (f. 1r).
