Part of Mostyn Manuscripts
A volume of awdlau, cywyddau, englynion, dyrïau, etc., written in 1725 by a certain John Jones at Mostyn: 'Myfi John Jones A sgrifenodd y Llyfr hwn. ym Mostyn, yn y Flwyddyn. 1725' (f. 119), and again 'John Jones ai sgrifenodd' (f. 4).
The first part of the MS, up to f. 94 verso, appears to have been copied from a MS called 'llyfr Cadwalader y gô' (f. 94 verso), and the poetry in this section of the MS corresponds to the greater part of the contents of Llanstephan MS 49 B which appears to represent the same source. There is nothing to suggest, however that Llanstephan 49 B is one and the same as 'llyfr Cadwalader y gô'. Leaves and end-papers bear a Pro Patria watermark. On ff. 119 verso-120 is a list of titles and page numbers.
John Jones.
