Scope and content
A manuscript containing 'A Short View of the Long Life of Sir Rice [Rhys] ap Thomas K.G.'. The text of this manuscript is fuller and more correct than that printed in the Cambrian Register, 1 (1795), pp. 49-144, but breaks off with the appointment of Sir Rice ap Thomas as Justiciar of South Wales (pp. i-xviii, 1-139, 145-151).
There are marginalia giving, here and there, references to original documents. There is also a continuation to the manuscript by Evan Evans (pp. 139-144, 152-159), who states: 'There was another chapter of this curious history as appears by a shred of a leaf still remaining of the Author's autograph ... I have collated this MS. [i.e. 2038D] carefully with the Author's MS. which I am sorry to say is imperfect' (p. 158).
