Epistolau bugeiliol St Paul.

An autograph translation into Welsh, [1567x1581], by Richard Davies, Bishop of St. Davids, of the Pastoral Epistles of St. Paul to Timothy, Titus and Philemon (ff. 2-11); this is apparently a new translation of these Epistles by Davies, following the publication of Salesbury's 1567 New Testament (see Glanmor Williams, Bywyd ac Amserau'r Esgob Richard Davies (Cardiff, 1953), pp. 108-109).
Also included is a bond, on parchment, dated 2 April [1565], signed by William Salesbury, incurred for the purpose of publishing the first Welsh editions of the Book of Common Prayer and New Testament (f. ii verso; Latin and English); a draft petition, [1546x1563], urging the translation of the New Testament into Welsh (ff. 1-1a; English); and a note by D. R. Thomas on the contents of the manuscript, 1891 (f. 13; English). For a transcript of the translation see D. R. Thomas, The Life and Work of Bishop Davies & William Salesbury… (Oswestry, 1902), pp. 148-175.
