These pages are designed to accompany the publication
of the album:
Music from the Robert ap Huw Manuscript
Volume I.
The pages are still under construction. For the moment, they contain
a brief introduction to the manuscript
and a comprehensive section on the interpretation
of the tablature written by Paul Whittaker, who has been researching
the tablature of the Robert ap Huw manuscript since 1970, and is currently
writing a book covering all aspects of its interpretation. Added to
this is an article by Peter Greenhill entitled
The forgotten, silver-voiced harp of Wales
Peter Greenhill's dissertations
The Robert ap Huw MS – An Exploration of its Possible Solutions
can now be accessed here
