Llawysgrif Boston o Gyfreithiau Hywel Dda

  • NLW MS 24029A.
  • File
  • [1350-1425]

A manuscript of the second half of the fourteenth century containing a Llyfr Blegywryd version of the Laws of Hywel Dda, with main text close to that of BL, Cotton, Titus D ix (siglum L). The manuscript was written by four scribes: scribe A (ff. 1-93), scribe B (f. 93), and the more cursive hand of scribe C (ff. 93 verso, 100-101 verso). Scribe D, of the early 15 cent. (f. 97), was responsible for the extraneous section of quire 12 (ff. 94-99), possibly part of another manuscript. This section includes the prayer Emyn Curig (ff. 98-99 verso).
The main text of folios 1-93 (to ln. 6 of f. 93) was transcribed line-for-line for Moses Williams, 'o lyfr William Philips o Aberhodni', in NLW, Llanstephan MS 75, when all but two leaves were present in the manuscript (ff. 7 & 17 being already lost).

A transcript of the present manuscript is available on the Welsh Prose (Rhyddiaith Gymraeg) 1350–1425 project website, and is available online at http://www.rhyddiaithganoloesol.cardiff.ac.uk/en/ms-home.php?ms=Bost5 (viewed December 2012)

  • NLW MS 6495C
  • File
  • [20 cent.]

The first part of a photostat facsimile, bound for convenience in two volumes (see also NLW MS 6496C), of Christ Church (Oxford) MS 184, a manuscript written in various hands of the 16th and 17th centuries. The original portion was written by William Cynwal (d. 1587/8), herald bard, who also inserted a note explaining how the manuscript came to be written. The major part of the volumes, written in Welsh, consists of cywyddau, awdlau and englynion, many of them in the autograph of the authors, and most of them written to various members of the Salusbury family of Llewenni and to Katherine of Berain (1534/5-1591). The English portion of the manuscripts includes autograph poems by Sir John Salusbury (1567-1612) and Robert Chester (fl. c. 1586-1604), and others. Also included in the manuscripts are the coats of arms of Katherine of Berain, resulting from her four marriages; a few Latin items, including elegies and epitaphs to Katherine of Berain; a rough index to the contents of the volumes compiled by John Jones (Tegid) (1792-1852), Christ Church, Oxford, in the 19th century.

Llawysgrif Dafydd Jones, Penrhyndeudraeth,

  • NLW MS 21671B.
  • File
  • 1802-1821 /

Part of a manuscript in the hand of, and including poetry by, Dafydd Jones (1743-1831), Penrhyndeudraeth, 'Dafydd Siôn Siâms' or 'Dafydd ab Ioan ab Iago' (see. DWB, p. 448). It appears that this manuscript, together with NLW MSS 5553B and 10898B, once formed a complete manuscript volume. Examples of the poetical items contained in this manuscript have never been recorded before. The cywyddau and carolau belong to the period 1802-21. Fourteen items are to be found in this manuscript portion, including poems requesting various items, elegies, warnings against the threat of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte, 1803, and against the unfaithfulness of Anglican clergy, as well as carolau plygain.

Jones, Dafydd, 1743-1831.
