A manuscript essay on the life of St Cuby [Cybi] of Duloe, [?1900], written by the Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould (ff. 1-7).
The text appears to be unrelated to the entries on St Cuby in Baring-Gould's The Lives of the Saints, 12 vols (London, 1872-1877), XI (1877), 186-195, and S. Baring-Gould and John Fisher, The Lives of the British Saints, 4 vols (1907-1908), II (1908), 202-215; it may however be an early draft of Sabine-Gould's article, 'Vita Sancti Kebie', Y Cymmrodor, 14 (1901), 86-95, to which it bears some resemblance. The essay contains a few emendations and deletions in the author's hand. Also included are two letters: from Baring-Gould to J. D. Enys, 11 April 1900, concerning the Saints Breacha and Cuby (ff. 10-11), and to a Mr [?Collier], 25 March 1893 (ff. 8-9).
