"News broke this week that the Massachusetts Historical Society is selling a medieval Welsh manuscript that’s been in the Society’s collections since before 1830; the 14th-century manuscript will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s London on 10 June, with a £500,000-700,000 estimate. It’ll be the first manuscript in medieval Welsh to come up at public auction since 1923, and ArtDaily suggests this is “most probably the last appearance of a medieval manuscript in Welsh on the market,” as most of the other known examples are already in instutitonal collections."
