Rolls

Three paper rolls, on rollers, containing four cywyddau by Iolo Morganwg, dated 1799-1810 (E10/1), Welsh poetry by Iolo, including over 100 englynion and forty-two dyrïau, dated 1778-1816 (E10/2) and Iolo's bardic alphabet, [c. 1817] (watermark 1815) (E10/3); together with another blank roll and an empty roller (E10/4-5). Also in the box is a bundle of papers containing a 'Survey for Mr Davies Pantysgallog', [1824] (E10/6); a few miscellaneous maps and drawings (E10/7); and three scraps of parchment, one containing a miniature painting of some goats (E10/8-10).

  • Brogyntyn MS II.41 [RESTRICTED ACCESS].
  • Ffeil
  • 1592, [17 cent., second ½]-[mid-18 cent.]
  • Rhan oBrogyntyn manuscripts

A copy of Siôn Dafydd Rhys, Cambrobrytannicæ Cymraecæve Lingvae Institvtiones et Rvdimenta... (London: Thomas Orwin, 1592, ESTC S115912), with manuscript additions in a number of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century hands throughout the volume and on the back fly-leaves, including Welsh verse in strict and free metre on pp. 98, 151, 196, 200 and 308-309, and 'pedwar mesir arhigain Cerdd Dant', 'y pedwar mesir arhugain Cerdd dafod' and 'y saith fesur ar hugain, ne'r saith fesurau [Cerdd Dant]' on pp. 305-307, together with a drawing of a Welsh triple harp and a diagram illustrating the tuning of its three sets of strings on p. 308.
The Welsh verses on p. 98 are probably in the hand of Robert Lloyd, whose name occurs on pp. 95, 98 and 157, and those on pp. 196 and 200 in the hand of Ffoulk Edwardes, whose name occurs on p. 156. The eighteenth-century hand which added the dates to poems on pp. 45, 164, 181, 183, 184, 190 and 248 probably also copied the verses on pp. 151, 248 and the texts on pp. 305-309.

Accounts and poetry

A seventeenth-century merchant's account-book for miscellaneous groceries and draperies supplied to persons mainly in Denbighshire, 1662-1687 (pp. 1-76). The remainder of the volume contains copies of Welsh poems in strict and free metres, a copy of Areth Wgon, and a few recipes (pp. 77-190, 193-194). The majority of the poems are in free metres, and among a large number of authors who are represented the following have several poems to their names: Robert Klidro and Sion Prys Caerddynen. A table of contents is on pp. 173-174.

Robin Clidro, fl. 1545-1580

Hen Benillion,

Two copies, the second incomplete, of a collection of 'Hen Benillion' compiled probably by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd'). The first copy (not in the autograph of' Myrddin Fardd' except for some alterations and additions) appears to be part (pp. 494-573) of a larger work and is headed "Pen. XIV - Crynodeb o Hen Bennillion Gwerinol' (the word 'diardd[el]' has been added to the title at a later date). The second copy is in the autograph of 'Myrddin Fardd' and is earlier in date but the beginning and end are wanting and the section here (pp. 29-72) corresponds to pp. 523-566 in the other copy. Between these two copies is a printed article by E. Anwyl, Oxford on 'Penillion telyn y Cymry' [Y Geninen, 1891], pp. 251-4.
