Dangos 2 canlyniad

A volume, compiled in the first half of the eighteenth century by a single, unidentified hand, containing poems of a satirical, political, occasional and erotic nature, some of them connected with members of the Brogyntyn and related families. The poems also include English versions of Welsh penillion and englynion, with many gaps left for the Welsh texts.

Poetry and prose compiled at Brogyntyn for an album (cf. Brogyntyn MS I.29), but left unbound. The items, in various hands, are mainly in English but with a few in Latin, Welsh and French, and consist of political, satirical and occasional verse, both published and apparently unpublished (ff. 1-212 verso), together with a few letters (ff. 214-228), miscellaneous prose and commonplace entries (ff. 229-306), and printed material including song-sheets, pamphlets and newspaper cuttings (ff. 307-390). A number of items relate to Brogyntyn or Wynnstay or are addressed to family members.
