Archival history

On Ellis's death they became the property of David Thomas, and subsequently passed to the Rev. P. Bayly Williams, and Owen Williams, Waunfawr. This MS, as well as the next one, MS 18B, subsequently came to Mr. Edward Breese of Portmadoc (whose bookplate is on the fly leaf), and was bought by Mr. E. G. B. Phillimore at his sale. The name of J. Ll. Williams, Coed Mawr, Nr. Conway, 21 April, 1849, occurs on p. 328.
