John Davies: Bywyd Mohammed, llyfryn hanesion, a barddoniaeth

A volume, 1751, mostly in the hand of John Davies, Pentrefoelas (1675-1769), containing an account of the life of the prophet Mohammed (pp. 1-10), an account told by 'Mr Harbert Griffydd o Gaer yn Arfon' (pp. 11-21), and miscellaneous poetry (pp. 22-78 passim). The tale noted in pp. 11-21 was published as a chap-book at Trefriw, c. 1780, with the title Adroddiad Nodedig o'r Byd Anweledig, &c. and was probably copied into this manuscript from an earlier edition of the chap-book.
