Scope and content
A volume, [early 17 cent.], containing a concordance of the Welsh Bible in the hand of Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt. This manuscript was discovered by the Rev. Evan Evans (Ieuan Brydydd Hir, 1731-1788) at Bala in 1765 (see Gweithiau Ieuan Brydydd Hir, p. 199); he intended to print the manuscript at Carmarthen (ibid, p. 205). As a concordance, it is vastly inferior to that of Abel Morgan which was printed at Philadelphia in 1730, and also to that of Peter Williams, published at Carmarthen in 1773.
