Enw'r crëwr

Hanes bywgraffyddol

Sir John Williams (1840-1926), royal physician, president of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and chief founder of the National Library of Wales, was born in Gwynfe, Carmarthenshire. His private library included important manuscripts from the estate of Peniarth, Merionethshire. It was Sir John who, amongst others, pioneered the setting up of a Welsh hospital in South Africa during the Boer War. Amongst the many honours bestowed upon him during his lifetime, he was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1894.

Hanes archifol

A large number of the manuscripts were purchased in March 1895 from the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), bibliophile; in addition, at least forty manuscripts in the series derive from the collection of Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore (1856-1937), scholar, and a further twelve or so manuscripts formerly belonged to the Rev. John Williams, Llanrwst (1760-1826).
