'Salmau Iolo Morganwg, Rhann I, yn adgyweiriedig, sef y rhai na chymmerwyd i'r Llyfr Argraphedig [i.e., Salmau yr Eglwys yn yr Anialwch, Cyfrol I (Merthyr Tydfil, 1812)], Hyd Rif [CXXX].' This volume was apparently meant to replace Part I in the series numbered 48-57 (NLW MSS 21336-45A) (see note inside front cover). The numbers on a slip of paper in the autograph of Taliesin Williams, continued inside the back cover, refer to the Salmau from this volume which were included in Cyfrol II (1834).

A collection of hymns by, and in the autograph of, Iolo Morganwg, in ten parts. Part I is dated 1800. The 'Salmau' are numbered consecutively from I-MXCI [i.e. 1-1091], and those with a stroke through them have been copied either into No. 60, 'Y Brasnadd Bach' (NLW MS 21348A) or into Nos 64-65 (NLW MSS 21352-3A). A number such as '70. 2' refers to No. 65. A note dated Aug. 7, 1826, found inside Part IV (NLW MS 21339A), gives the total number of 'Salmau' composed by Iolo Morganwg, with the number in each volume.
The 'Salmau' are arranged as follows: Nos 1-60 (21336A), 61-141 (21337A), 142-227 (21338A), 228-304 (21339A), 305-390 (21340A), 391-486 (21341A), 487-644 (21342A), 645-811 (21343A), 812-948 (21344A), and 949-1091 (21345A).

The manuscript of Salmau yr Eglwys yn yr Anialwch, Cyfrol I (Merthyr Tydfil, 1812). The printed volume contains 204 hymns: the last in the manuscript collection is numbered CC. The preface appears to correspond to the printed copy except that the last paragraph but one is wanting here: there is also another draft of a preface dated 'Trefflemin, neu fal ai gelwid gynt Llanfihangel y Twyn, gerllaw'r Bont faen ym Morganwg Alban Hefin 1811' (found elsewhere among the papers). The index which appears to be a draft is to the printed volume and not to the manuscript.

'Salmau yr Eglwys yn yr Anialwch (Cyfrol II)...'. In the note, dated 7 August 1826, in NLW MS 21339A Iolo Morganwg refers to this volume thus: 'Gweler ym mhrifddarpar yr ail gyfrol 74' [i.e. Salmau]. The collection is similar to, but not identical with, the first pages of the second volume published by Taliesin Williams in 1834: there are some hymns in the MS which are not in the printed volume, and vice versa. There is also a draft of the beginning of a preface (to be found elsewhere).

A collection, entitled 'Y Brasnadd Newydd Medi'r 22nd. 1817', of a hundred and sixty four hymns based on the Psalms and other portions of Scripture by Edward Williams (Iolo Morganwg), similar to those included in his Salmau yr Eglwys yn yr Anialwch, 1812 and 1834. Some of the hymns are accompanied by tunes.
