Ffeil 243B. - Llyfr Dafydd Elis,

An imperfect manuscript probably of the second quarter of the seventeenth century in the hand of David Elis. It contains 'cywyddau' and 'awdlau' by Gruffydd Hiraethog, Guto r Glynn, Tudur Aled, William Llyn, Ieuan Tew, Tudur Penllyn, Huw Kae Llwyd, Llywelyn Goch amheurig hen, Dafydd Nanmor, Gruffydd Hafren, Syr Owen ap Gwilim, Sion Phylip, Bedo Brwynllys, Morys Dwyfech, Dafydd ap Edmwnd, Llowdden, Tomas Penllyn, Mredydd ap Rys, Sion Tvdur, Dafydd Llwyd Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, Llywelyn ap Gutun Delynior, Syr Rys Karno, Wiliam Kynnwal, Dafydd ap Gwilim, Gwilim ap Ieuan hen, Lewis Glynn Kothi and Ierwerth fynglwyd, together with anonymous poems and fragments. A few 'cywydd' couplets and 'penillion', some by Thomas Owen, have been inserted in blank pages in later hands. The spine is lettered 'Llyfr Dafydd Elis 1630' but it has apparently been ascribed to this year not on internal evidence but on the analogy of Cwrtmawr MS 27, which is in the same hand.
