Scope and content
Copi anghyflawn o gyfrol William Middelton, 'Psalmae y brenhinol brophwyd Dafydh' (Llunden, 1603) [Libri Walliae 466-9, ESTC S90848], gyda'r chwe dalen gyntaf, a dalennau 1-30, 229-30, 233-87 ar goll (awgryma nodyn ar f. 118 verso iddynt gael eu colli cyn y ddeunawfed ganrif). Ceir yn y gyfrol nifer o fân nodiadau mewn inc yn dyddio o'r ail ganrif ar bymtheg (y mwyafrif wedi gwisgo neu wedi eu tocio), gan gynnwys enwau Richard Jones (ff. 45, 65 passim), Kadwalad[r] Wynn (f. 55), Hugh Jones (ff. 88 verso, 89 passim), ac Owen Parry, 1690 (f. 63). = Incomplete copy of William Middelton's 'Psalmae y brenhinol brophwyd Dafydh' (Llunden, 1603) [Libri Walliae 466-9, ESTC S90848], lacking the six preliminary leaves and ff. 1-30, 229-30, 233-87 (the note on f. 118 verso suggests that they were lost before the eighteenth century). The volume bears a number of minor annotations in ink of the seventeenth century (most faded or cropped), including the names of Richard Jones (ff. 45, 65 passim), Kadwalad[r] Wynn (f. 55), Hugh Jones (ff. 88 verso, 89 passim), and Owen Parry, 1690 (f. 63).
Yn gynnar yn y ddeunawfed ganrif, roedd y gyfrol yng ngogledd Môn, fel y tystia enwau Richard Owen, Llanfihangel-yn-Nhywyn, 1711 (ff. 81, 85 verso) a John Hughes o Lanfair-yn-neubwll (ff. 26, 36, a ddarlunnir efallai ar f. 112 verso). Bu wedyn ym Mhentreiriannell, Môn, lle'r ysgrifennwyd arno enwau Lewis Morris, 1721 (f. 62), Siôn Morris, 1721/2 (f. 49) a Rhisiart Morris, 1725 (f. 17), ac ychwanegodd Lewis Morris nifer o ddarnau o farddoniaeth, yn Gymraeg a Saesneg, ar ff. 90, 91, 111 verso, 114, 115 verso, a 116 verso. Wedi ei chludo i Benbryn, Ceredigion, cyflwynodd Lewis y gyfrol ym Medi 1759 i Siôn Bradford o Fetws Tir Iarll, Morgannwg (f. 17 verso). = Early in the eighteenth century, the volume was in the north of Anglesey, as witness the names of Richard Owen, Llanfihangel-yn-Nhywyn, 1711 (ff. 81, 85 verso) and John Hughes of Llanfair-yn-neubwll (ff. 26, 36, and possibly pictured on f. 112 verso). Subsequently at Pentreiriannell, Anglesey, it was inscribed with the names of Lewis Morris, 1721 (f. 62), John Morris, 1721/2 (f. 49) and Richard Morris, 1725 (f. 17), and Lewis Morris added numerous fragments of verse, in both Welsh and English, on ff. 90, 91, 111 verso, 114, 115 verso, and 116 verso. Having been transported to Penbryn, Cardiganshire, the volume was in September 1759 presented by Lewis to John Bradford, of Betws Tir Iarll, Glamorgan (f. 17 verso).
