Scope and content
A volume in the hand of J. H. Davies containing transcripts of Welsh poetry, mainly 'englynion', lists of the compositions of Welsh poets of the 14th-16th centuries (titles and first lines) and a few miscellaneous notes. Nearly all the contents are copied from Jesus College MSS lxxxviii, ci, cxxxviii, cxxxix (R.W.M., Vol. II, Part I, Jesus College MSS 18, 17, 16, 14); the main source of the poetry is Jesus College MSS lxxxviii. The first three pages contain extracts from Ashmolean 847. There is some material from printed sources, including a plan (p. 166) of the British encampments and the mines worked by the Ancient Britons between Rheidol and Dovey, probably copied from J. G. Williams: A short account of the British Encampments lying between the rivers Rheidol & Llyfnant ... (Aberystwyth, 1866).
