Scope and content
A volume, 1681-2, in the hand of Huw Morys ('Eos Ceiriog', 1622-1709), poet, Llansilin, co. Denbigh, containing mainly holograph Welsh poetry in strict and free metres, including a poem dated 1681 (ff. 10-11), together with a cywydd by SiƓn Tudur (f. 16 verso), prophetic verses, some attributed to Taliesin (ff. 12 verso, 25 verso), and anonymous englynion (ff. 36 verso-37, 42); the original parchment cover, preserved at the beginning, contains copies by H.M. of 'Diarhebion o waith Taliessin', 'Cynghorion Taliessin' (f. i verso) and 'Tri Thlws ar ddeg o Ynys Brydaine' (f. ii). The manuscript was probably written for the poet's brother John Maurice (d. 1699), Bodlith, Llansilin, whose name appears on f. 1; other signatures in the volume suggest it to have remained in the possession of the family until the [mid-18 cent.].
