- A larger grammar or a commentary upon Donatus [1] (Grammatica major seu commentarius in Donatum). This is his earliest work, written at the request of his scholars, probably between 800 and 805. It is still unprinted, except a small portion in Mabillon [2], Vetera analectam, Nov. ed. (Paris, 1723) pp. 357, 358.
- John T. Koch: Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia (2006) p. 489: The earliest evidence of Old Cornish consists of several glosses from the 10th century:
- written on Smagdarus's COmmentary on the classical grammarian Donatus,
- on the Book of Tobit found in the manuscript Oxoniensis Posterior,
- Joseph Loth in Revue Celtique disputes this is Cornish [3]
- and in the manumissions found on the Bodmin Gospels, which record the freeing of 122 slaves, of whom 98 were Cornish, and many had native Cornish names.
Mills 2013:
- "Book of Tobit" in Oxoniensis Posterior' has glosses in Cornish. (Jackson 1953: 55)
- De raris fabulis in Oxoniensis Posterior' contains possibly Old Cornish glosses. (Loth 1893; Jackson 1953: 55)
- Boethius's De consolatione philosophiae (DCP; Breeze 2007)
- Smaragdus's Commentary on Donatus (SCD; Jackson 1953: 59; Loth 1914)
- Prophetia Merlini (PM; Curley 1982) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_Merlin
