Hanes archifol
Annotation in the hand of David Johns occurs on, e.g., pp. 105-6, 110, 193-5. There are additions and notes in the hand of Thomas Wiliems (e.g. pp. 126, 198, 210 with his initials); he copied Richard ap John’s text in British Library Additional MS 31055, apparently in 1591. The evidence that Wiliems ‘evidently had it bound’ [RMWL] does not seem to survive. Richard ap John made a copy of his own text in 1593 in Peniarth MS 160. On the evidence for use of the manuscript by Henry Perri in his Egluryn Phraethineb (1595), see Llên Cymru, 2 (see above). On p. 1 is the signature of John Davies [of Mallwyd], with date 1620; notes on pp. 14, 15 and 161 are probably in his hand. Listed by Robert Vaughan in Cat. A s.n. ‘W.1.2.7’.
