Commonplace book,

A common-place book begun 27 June 1767. The volume has the number 121 written on the spine and is a companion volume to Cardiff MS 2. 169. The contents of the present common-place book include 'Gwaith Meddygon Myddfai. Transcribed at Green-meadow December 5th &c. 1768' (pp. 49-102); Salm 148 o gynghaneddiad y parchedig Mr. Ellis Wynne' (pp. 103-4); 'A Table shewing the Pay of a Sea Chaplain ...' (p. 105); a note giving the date of birth of Thomas Beynon, 1745, William Beynon, 1750, and Jane Beynon, 1758 (p. 119); and a continuation, 1767-1803, of the reading list published by Professor Thomas (pp. 169-176, 151-168, and 143-8, in that order), followed by an index to the volume. Several leaves have been excised at the beginning, viz. pp. 3-4, 19-24, and 37-48.

Nodiadau amrywiol,

A notebook in the hand of J. H. Davies, with a few insets, containing an incomplete (A-F) list of first lines of the poetry of Dafydd ap Gwilym; bibliographical data on nineteenth century Welsh almanacs; transcripts from Yny lhyvyr hwnn .... (1546); and an incomplete list of idiomatic and syntactical forms ('Brawddegau Dull-weddau Cymreig') in Ellis Wynne, Gweledigaethau y Bardd Cwsc (Llundain, 1703).

Pedigrees,

Part of a volume of pedigrees mainly of North Wales interest written in the early part of the eighteenth century. The section contained here comprises pp. 154-[193] and is probably the concluding portion of the original volume with some cross-references to the missing pages. Persons mentioned include 'Ellis Wynne of las ynus near harlech' (p. 165) and 'Charles [Edwards] prelat' (t. 169). There are some gaps, particularly in the matter of the Christian names of wives, but the manuscript is valuable in that some of the pedigrees are brought down to the beginning of the eighteenth century. Guarded on to the final end-papers is a sheet written in a different hand containing a pedigree marked 'Mathavarn' (David Lloyd ap Llewelyn ap Gruffith); it also bears the address 'Mr R. Roberts, Farrier, Llandderfel, Corwen'. This sheet is followed by a fragment of the index to the original volume.
