A volume in the hand of Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd) containing a transcript of an address to Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt by William Maurice, 1661 (ff. 1-46); and a Catalogicus Chronologicus Scriptorum Britannicorum (ff. 46 verso-52); etc.

A transcript in the hand of Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd) of a tractate entitled 'Camropismus enervatus et triumphatus per Tyronem quemdam succenturiatum Evangelicae Militiae Cambro-britannum'. The original manuscript was written by William Maurice in 1653 (see f. 66 verso), is mainly Welsh and is strongly Protestant. Maurice wrote the material to combat 'False Doctrine, Altar worship & Holy days' and provides an alternative title of 'Arnodiadau gau athrawiaeth, allordduwiaeth ag uchel-wyl-iaith, y sydd wedi ei daenu hyd y gwledydd dan enw Dr. Gruffydd a Ric: Jervis y Cyfieithydd am hynny o waith tramgwyddus'.
This tractate seems never to have been printed and published, despite what appears to be a printer's/publisher's note. There is an interesting reference that reads 'cofiwch Lofft y Grog yn Llan silyn cyn ir sawdwyr dorri'r lluniau'.

A volume containing copies in the hand of Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd) of a catalogue of manuscripts at Hengwrt (ff. 2-22 verso); and two catalogues of the library of William Maurice at Cefn y Braich, Llansilin, the first being Maurice's own catalogue (ff. 32-34 verso), the second a later catalogue (ff. 35-36). The Hengwrt catalogue is a copy of that in the hand of William Maurice, dated 1658. A note by Evan Evans concerning the Cefn y Braich catalogues is on f. 34 verso.
