Scope and content
A transcript of the Book of Aneurin by M. Williams. It is an excellent copy: an effort has been made throughout to exhibit the difficulties and peculiarities of the original, and any errors, which are due chiefly to an inability to distinguish between 'r' and 't', are infrequent. The transcript is signed 'M. Williams, M.A., F.R.S., Dolgelleu, Oct. 15. 1728' and the flyleaf is inscribed 'O hen Lyfr ar Femrwn yn Hengwrt A.D. 1728', which suggests that the original manuscript, from which the text was transcribed, was at the time at Hengwrt.
