This table of concordance lists the verses of the Gododdin as well as the four Gorchanau, but excludes other material that occurs in the manuscript. For each verse, relevant page numbers, initial lines, scribal hands (A and B) and references to scholarly editions or translations have been noted down. By clicking on the arrows, you can sort the verses in the order of your preference: (a) in the order in which they stand in the manuscript (“MS: page”, default); or in the order in which they are represented in one of the following modern editions and/or translations: (b) the standard edition by Ifor Williams (1938), (c) in the prose translation by Kenneth Jackson (1969), (d) the edition and translation by A. O. H. Jarman (1988), and (e) the reconstructed text according to John T. Koch’s edition (1997). Finally, the verses can be alphabetically arranged by their initial lines.
