Memoirs and journal, compiled 1798, of the artist Thomas Jones, Pencerrig, recounting in detail his life in London, France and especially Italy during the second half of the eighteenth century.
The volume briefly recounts Jones's ancestry and early years, becoming more detailed from the 1760s, with the last detailed entry being for December 1783 (f. 218 verso); the bulk of these later entries are extracts from Jones's own journals. The final entry was signed by the artist at Pencerrig, November 1798 (f. 220 verso). The main text, including some later deletions, is written on the versos only; notes and emendations, [1798x1803], have been added by Jones on the rectos and the volume has been signed and dated 1803 by him inside the front cover. Family memoranda, in a different hand, have been added after Jones's death (ff. 225 verso). Friends and acquaintances referred to include the artists William Pars (ff. 15 verso-177 passim), Richard Wilson (ff. 17 verso-20 verso, 35 verso, 56 verso, 85, 90 verso-91, 219 verso), John Hamilton Mortimer (21 verso, 27 verso-48 verso passim, 59 verso, 64 verso, 136 verso, 217 verso), Guiseppe Marchi (ff. 27 verso, 36 verso), Thomas Hardwick (ff. 66 verso-70 verso, 90 verso-100 verso, 115 verso, 130 verso) and Anton Raphael Mengs (ff. 101 verso, 130 verso, 148 verso, 161 verso), the composer Stephen Storace (ff. 117 verso-121, 146 verso), and the art collector Sir William Hamilton (ff. 127 verso-188 verso passim, 215 verso, 219 verso).

Archiepiscopal confirmation in Latin, dated 21 May 1328, by Henry of Eastry (d. 1331), Prior of Christ Church, Canterbury (the monastic Cathedral Chapter), validating the election of Master Henry de Gower, Archdeacon of St David's, as Bishop of St David's. The document displays the sede vacante arrangements for the archdiocese of Canterbury, with the Prior of Canterbury acting at metropolitical level during the vacancy caused by the death of Archbishop Walter Reynolds on 16 November 1327. The document refers to the presence at Canterbury of de Gower and of the proctor (official representative) of the Precentor and Chapter of St David's. It notes the roles of the Prior of St Thomas's, Haverfordwest and Master David de Buelt [of Builth], canon of Bangor, in the election process, the latter acting as Canterbury's official overseeing matters in the Diocese of St David's during the vacancy. The witness list includes the names of Hugh de Forsham, William de Wynterton, John de Grone, Stephen Steest, John de Gloucestria, and Peter Duraunt, together with the scribe, Magister [?J.] Wymburn.
Following the death of the previous incumbent, Bishop David Martin, in March 1328, Henry de Gower (1277/9-1347) had been elected bishop of St David's by the Cathedral Chapter on 21 April. This document confirmed the validity of that election, and the suitability of the bishop-elect. Gower was duly consecrated at Canterbury on 12 June by Stephen Gravesend, Bishop of London, and the election was later confirmed by Pope John XXII in December 1328. The timing of de Gower's enthronement at St David's is unclear. See further 'Henry de Gower: bishop and builder', in Glanmor Williams, The Welsh and their Religion. Historical essays (Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1991), pp. 93-116.

A manuscript of the second half of the fourteenth century containing a Llyfr Blegywryd version of the Laws of Hywel Dda, with main text close to that of BL, Cotton, Titus D ix (siglum L). The manuscript was written by four scribes: scribe A (ff. 1-93), scribe B (f. 93), and the more cursive hand of scribe C (ff. 93 verso, 100-101 verso). Scribe D, of the early 15 cent. (f. 97), was responsible for the extraneous section of quire 12 (ff. 94-99), possibly part of another manuscript. This section includes the prayer Emyn Curig (ff. 98-99 verso).
The main text of folios 1-93 (to ln. 6 of f. 93) was transcribed line-for-line for Moses Williams, 'o lyfr William Philips o Aberhodni', in NLW, Llanstephan MS 75, when all but two leaves were present in the manuscript (ff. 7 & 17 being already lost).

A transcript of the present manuscript is available on the Welsh Prose (Rhyddiaith Gymraeg) 1350–1425 project website, and is available online at http://www.rhyddiaithganoloesol.cardiff.ac.uk/en/ms-home.php?ms=Bost5 (viewed December 2012)
