Dangos 14335 canlyniad

(i) An autograph draft of Sir Thomas Hanmer's 'Garden Book' (ff. 7-87 verso), which appears to be an earlier draft than either Bettisfield 1667 or the 'MS volume of 1659' from which the 'Garden Book' was first printed with an introduction by E. S. Rohde in 1933. Its condensed style contrasts with the more detailed and formal text of the printed edition. It ends with an index of plants mentioned in the text (ff. 83-87 verso). (ii) A text of Edward Norgate's treatise 'An Exact and Compendious Discourse concerning the Art of Miniature or Limming ...' (ff. 89-116 verso), in the hand of Sir Thomas Hanmer, dated 15 February 1663/4. This text shows much variation from that of the only printed edition, based on Bodleian Tanner MS 326 [ed. Martin Hardie, 'Miniatura; or, the art of limning' (Oxford, 1919)]. Hanmer's abbreviated text ends at the foot of p. 70 of Hardie's edition. Hardie lists eight other manuscripts. (iii) Notes in Latin on Aristotle's 'Rhetorica' (ff. 2-6, and inverted text ff. 140 verso-141 verso); 'Notae Grammaticales' (inverted text ff. 137-138 verso); fragments of English prose, one beginning 'Freindsheep has this in it ...' (inverted text, inside back cover and f. 140); all in later hands of seventeenth century.

A volume, [17 cent., second ½] (watermark similar to Churchill 401), containing Scriptural genealogies (ff. 2-68) and the 'Onomasticon', a dictionary of individuals and peoples mentioned in the Bible (ff. 70-316 verso), both compiled by a certain William Spenser, gent.
The genealogies show the descent of Jesus Christ from Adam and Eve but also include pedigrees for the Twelve Tribes of Israel (ff. 8-31 verso); other peoples and empires appearing in the Old and New Testaments are represented by genealogies or by lists of individuals as appropriate (ff. 33-68); the section on the Roman Empire lists other figures appearing in the New Testament (ff. 57-68). As well as the Bible the compiler has made use of other sources including Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (see ff. 138 verso, 161 verso, 187 verso, 195, 245); there are also extracts from Thomas Godwyn [Goodwin], Moses and Aaron: Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites Used by the Ancient Hebrewes (London: printed by Iohn Haviland, 1625, STC 11951), pp. 58-60 (f. 261 verso), 61-66 (f. 127 verso). The preface (ff. 2 recto-verso) consists mainly of excerpts from Works of the Great Albionean Divine Mr Hugh Broughton, ed. by John Lightfoot (London: printed for Nath. Ekins, 1662, Wing B4997), pp. 376 (2nd Tome), 689 (3rd tome). Many names and headings are picked out in red ink, with names of prophets in green ink. Various additions and marginal notes have been added to the Onomasticon in the same hand.

A painted panel, dated 1650, depicting the achievement of arms of Charles Lloyd (1613-1657) of Dolobran impaling that of his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Stanley of Knockin, Shropshire, with numerous quarterings, surmounted by two helms and crests and set within a canopy with gold tassels.
The painting is possibly by Charles Lloyd himself, a noted genealogist, and would appear to be the prototype for the oak panel, known as the Dolobran Panel, which was at that time hung over the fireplace at Dolobran Hall, and to which it bears a close resemblance. The achievement is notable for reflecting contrasting Welsh and English attitudes to heraldry: the six (possibly seven) quarterings of the Stanley arms strictly reflect the English practice of only marshalling the arms of families from which there was a descent through heiresses, while the fifteen Lloyd quarterings merely depict the arms of the most distinguished ancestors. The painting was later laid onto a board containing, on the verso, part of an Anti-Slavery Associat[ion] document, [?early 19 cent.]. For a description of the Dolobran Panel, including a full blazon, see M. P. Siddons, 'The Dolobran Panel', in Montgomeryshire Collections, 70 (1982), 65-70.

A collection of documents, 1651-[19 cent., first ½], relating to the Commonwealth and Protectorate in England. They include a warrant, 7 November 1651, from the Council of State, signed by its president John Bradshaw, authorising the merchant Charles Longland to act as their agent in Livorno, Tuscany, in supplying the parliamentarian fleet and providing intelligence (item i); a commission, 15 October 1655, from Oliver Cromwell (signed 'Oliver P.'), appointing George Langford as chirurgeon [surgeon] in Col. Goffe's regiment of horse (item ii); and a further commission, 11 July 1659, from Parliament, signed by W[illia]m Lenthall, Speaker, appointing Langford to the rank of Cornet in a troop of horse under Col. Thomas Saunders (item iii).
Also included is an engraving, 1793, of a 1654 portrait of William Lenthall (item iv); and an engraving, [19 cent., first ½], depicting the trial of Charles I (item v). Two of the documents have papered seals affixed: Cromwell's private seal (item ii) and the seal of the Council of State (Item i).

Pedigree and achievement, 1654, of John Edwards (1619-1673) of Stanste [Stansty], Denbighshire, compiled and executed by Randle Holme II, containing thirty-nine other fully painted coats of arms, mostly impaled, tracing Edwards's descent in the male line from Coel Godebog and Cadwalader ap Cadwallon, through their mutual descendant Rhodri Mawr, alongside his paternal grandmother's descent from Morion ap Morgenew, Lord of Dyffryn Clwyd.
The names of individuals, together with additional biographical and genealogical information, are enclosed in roundels, with those of the earliest royal and noble figures being surmounted by crowns, coronets or caps of maintenance as appropriate. The pedigree is mostly arranged as two parallel lines of descent, except the final three generations where other relatives such as siblings and John Edwards's son and stepchildren are recorded, without heraldry. The title, beginning 'The Genealogie or Pedegree of John Edwards of Stanste', is given in a scroll cartouche at the head of the roll; the achievement of John Edwards, with eleven quarterings, is placed at the foot. There are a few additions in a different hand, [?1670s], including notice of the marriage of John Edwards the younger (aged 2 in 1654) to Mary, daughter of the Rev. Robert Lloyd of Llanychan; two sections of text appear to have been altered by scraping away the original ink. The pedigree is an example of Style 3 in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), pp. 11-12.

Cause book, 1659-87, of John Maddocks (1601-62), Bodfari, co. Flint, containing lists of the civil cases heard on the Chester and North Wales circuits of the Great Sessions in Wales, April 1659 - October 1661 and October 1659 - September 1661 respectively, in which he appeared as an advocate (ff. 2-36; 170-84 verso inverted text); two civil cases heard in the Great Sessions for co. Denbigh, August 1666, are listed in another hand on f. 37. The volume was later used by another scribe (the entry on f. 156 verso is in another hand who also added memoranda on f. 186 verso) to copy extracts from the court book of the bishop of Bangor's manors of Llan, Llech and Llanelidan, co. Denbigh, for sessions held May 1683 - November 1687 before John Maddocks, steward, probably the advocate's son (ff. 156 verso-68 verso inverted text). Other items comprise legal and financial memoranda, including a list, 1662, in the hand of Edward Wynne of bonds delivered by him (f. 185 recto-verso inverted text).

A volume of pedigrees in Welsh and English, evidently compiled in Carmarthenshire about 1663 (see f. 193). The collection is poorly organised. Carmarthenshire families predominate; Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire are well represented; some pedigrees for other parts of Wales. Mostly based on earlier sources, many on the pattern of achau'r mamau and in Welsh, many coming down to the years 1625-1628. Sources named are 'John Moythe's book' (ff. 117-124 passim) and 'Thomas Johnes of Fountaine Gate' (f. 120 verso). Folios 1-22 contain world chronology, biblical and royal lines, down to Charles II. Additions, mostly of Carmarthenshire interest, by several hands of XVII and XVIII cent., notably by an annotator active in 1706 and, it appears, by John Jones of Pant-glas (fl. 1706-1744) (see ff. 26 verso, 45 versoi, 184, 193).

An interleaved copy of Christoph Helwig, Theatrum historicum et chronologicum . . ., Ed. sexta (Oxoniae, 1662), with some manuscript additions (the solar cycle, lunar cycle, Dominical letter, the date of Easter, and the corresponding year in the Hegira or Mohammedan era, etc.). Written on some of the blank leaves at the beginning and end of the volume are genealogical memoranda concerning the family of Humphrey Humphreys, bishop of Bangor and afterwards of Hereford (see also the note facing p. 178), and facing one of the pages of the Index there is a list of dates concerning William Lloyd, bishop of St. Asaph.

Deeds and documents, 1664-1909, of the Phillips family of Tre-faes Uchaf, including deeds relating to properties in the parishes of Llangwyryfon, Llanrhystyd, Llanddeiniol, Llanilar and Llanddewi Brefi, Cardiganshire, 1664-1855; wills and other probate records, 1835-1880; receipts and vouchers of Tre-faes Uchaf and Grip, 1838-1894; letters, 1870-1892; and deeds relating to the property of Augustus Brackenbury ('Y Sais Bach') in Llanrhystyd, Llangwyryfon and Lledrod, Cardiganshire, 1819-1828.

Pedigree (ff. 1-4) and achievement (f. 4), [1664x1673], of George Gwynne of Llwyn Hywel, Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, and Llanelwedd, Radnorshire, with one hundred and nineteen other coats of arms, all emblazoned and painted, probably compiled by David Edwardes, Rhyd-y-gors, Carmarthenshire.
The pedigree is traced, sometimes spuriously, from Gwyriad (fl. c. 800), father of Merfyn Frych (f. 1), Coronac, King of Dublin (4 cent.), Caradog Freichfras, earl of Hereford (?6 cent.), Drew de Ballon, 'baron of Abergavenny' (11 cent.), Drym[benog] ap Maenyrch (fl. c. 1100), and Gwrydr Hir (?10 cent.), of Dryslwyn (all f. 2).

Rent roll, 1666, of the manor of Neath Ultra and Cilybebyll, Glamorgan, arranged into free, customary and demense tenants. Also a memorandum of the heriot due on the death, alienation, 'incomb or releife' of a free tenant and the death of a customary tenant.

Papers of George Eyre Evans, 1669-1939, including personal papers; family papers; notes, transcripts, correspondence and other papers relating to his religious and antiquarian interests and to his publications; copies of printed books and journals with insertions and annotations; and various original manuscripts collected by him.

A volume of popular Welsh poems on religious and scriptural themes written c. 1673-1674 by James Phillipp(es), with additions made a generation later by Phillipp James. The poems belong to the type of verse known in Cardiganshire as 'halsingod'. Linguistic evidence suggests that the authors were natives of East Carmarthenshire.

Papers of the Bonsall family of Fronfraith, 1674-1919, comprising manuscripts, 1785-1891; deeds, plans, and particulars of sale relating to the Galltyllan estate in the parishes of Machynlleth, Penegoes and Darowen, Montgomeryshire, 1674-1919; a much smaller number of deeds relating to the Fronfraith estate in Cardiganshire, 1790-[early 1900s]; and precedent books, [early 19 cent.].

A pedigree, [17 cent, last ¼], of Hugh Jones of Bottegir [Bodtegir], [Betws Gwerful Goch, Denbighshire], reciting his paternal ancestors back to Adam. This may be the Hugh Jones buried at Betws Gwerful Goch on 2 January 1716.
The pedigree is said to be based on the work of Gutun Owain ('Thus by Gyttyn Owens booke who flourished in King Henry the seaven his time'); the earlier portions, listing mythical and legendary kings of Britain (after Geoffrey of Monmouth), the descendants of Brutus and Eneas Ysgwyddwyn [Aeneas], figures from Roman mythology and the Biblical Patriarchs from Noah to Adam, closely mirrors Gutun Owain's genealogical text in NLW MS 3026C, pp. 63-81. More recent generations consist of mostly genuine rulers of Powys, descended from Kasnar Waledig [Casnar Wledig]. The pedigree is not recorded in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996).

A collection of printed Votes of the House of Commons, 21 October 1680-10 January 1681 (ff. 26-100), and 21-28 March 1681 (ff. 130-136), together with other printed parliamentary acts, speeches, and proclamation, all kept and some annotated by William Williams, Speaker of the House of Commons, and MP for Chester.
Significant manuscript additions by Williams include notes on his election as Speaker on 21-22 October 1680 (ff. 21-23), on the sudden dissolution of the Oxford Parliament on 28 March 1681 (ff. 137), and on his later career, 1687-1694 (f. 138). Corrections on the printed papers in the Speaker's hand appear on ff. 48, 50, 56, 87, 93, 126-8, 131.

A pedigree, 1680, of the Kerry family of Binweston, Worthen, Shropshire, containing twenty-five coats of arms, all emblazoned and painted. It is a copy, with continuation, apparently by Thomas Fr[ancis, of Montgomery], from a Lewys Dwnn original of 1598. The pedigree is traced from Gwrgene, Lord of Yal and Bromfield [?Gwernen ap Gwaeddgar], Llyr ap Maenyrch, King of Gloster [Llyr Marini], and King Pelenaur [Pellinore or Pelinor], as well as Cadell ap Rhodri Mawr and Severus [ap Cadwr Wynwyn].
Comparison with NLW MS 23219G, a 1792 copy of the pedigree, suggests that the present roll was created as the pedigree and achievement of Edward Kerry (d. c. 1698) of Binweston, the original achievement now having been lost from the foot of the roll. Several arms originally emblazoned 'or, a lion rampant regardant gules, armed and langued azure' seem subsequently to have been over-painted 'party per saltire, azure and ermine' (NLW MS 23219G shows the latter arms); all the arms have suffered from the loss of pigment.

Papers, 1681, 1759-2015, of T. I. Ellis, his wife Mari Ellis and their respective families.
The T. I. Ellis papers consist of correspondence, 1904-1970; personal papers, 1894-1970, including his diaries, 1943-1970; papers relating to his education and career, 1900-1947; financial papers, 1926-1967; papers relating to organisations including Aberystwyth Old Students' Association, the BBC, the Guild of Graduates of the University of Wales, the University of Wales and the Welsh Schoolboys Camp Movement, 1920-1979; papers of committees and commissions with which he was involved, 1932-1968; papers relating to ecclesiastical affairs, the Church in Wales and related bodies, 1909-1991; and correspondence, drafts and notes relating to his publications, 1877-1978.
The Mari Ellis papers, 1681, 1759-2015, include correspondence; diaries, 1930-2014; papers relating to her work in journalism and broadcasting, 1948-2004; and research papers, [?early 20 cent.]-[2008x2010].
Also included are papers relating to the Charles family of Carmarthen and the Davies family of Aberystwyth and Cwrtmawr, 1791-1920; and papers and correspondence relating to T. E. Ellis, 1870-1963, Mrs Annie J. Ellis (later Hughes-Griffiths), 1873-1942, the Rev. Peter Hughes-Griffiths, 1871-1940, J. H. Davies, 1883-1929, and the Headley family, [1890x1896]-[2000s].
