For the last few years I have had in hand a project to create a new reliable transcription of Annales Cambriae B (and also the C-text from British Library Cotton MS Domitian A.i). Some of the readings in this transcription still rely on Williams (ab Ithel), John, ed. (1860), Annales Cambriae (444 – 1288), London, but where possible (some of the MS is now very faded) Williams ab Ithel's readings are being checked against photocopies of the original MS, and the original orthography and missing items restored. For a review of Williams ab Ithel's edition and its shortcomings see Phillimore, Egerton (ed.), 1890/1 'The publication of the Welsh historical records', Y Cymmrodor 11 (1890/1) pp. 133–75.
