Archival history
The name 'Evan Thomas' occurs often ('Evan Thomas his hand', 'Evan Thomas ei angad ei bin ei Ingc', etc.), and his date of birth is given as 30 April 1739. It seems possible that the volume belonged first to Thomas Lewis and then to Evan Thomas [?Cwmhwylfod, Sarnau, near Bala] (see also Cwrtmawr MSS 492-3).
