Drafft, [1909], yn llaw T. Gwynn Jones o'i awdl 'Gwlad y Bryniau', awdl fuddugol Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 1909, Llundain. = A holograph draft, [1909], of 'Gwlad y Bryniau' by T. Gwynn Jones, the winning awdl at the 1909 National Eisteddfod in London.

Mae'r gweddill yn ddalennau newydd yn cynnwys rhannau diwygiedig o'r gerdd (ff. 1, 7, 9, 23-24, 26, 30-31, 33, 36-44). Mae'r testun yn cynnwys nifer fawr o newidiadau a diddymiadau, ac yn y ffurf ddiwygiedig yma mae'n cyfateb yn agos iawn i'r fersiwn orffenedig (gw. LlGC, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru - Cyfansoddiadau a beirniadaethau 1909/1). Cyhoeddwyd yr awdl gyntaf yng Nghofnodion a Chyfansoddiadau Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 1909 (Llundain), gol. gan E.

The remaining folios are new leaves containing revised sections of the poem (ff. 1, 7, 9, 23-24, 26, 30-31, 33, 36-44). The text contains many emendations and deletions and in this revised form corresponds very closely to the submitted version (see NLW, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru - Cyfansoddiadau a beirniadaethau 1909/1). It was first published in Cofnodion a Chyfansoddiadau Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 1909 (Llundain), ed. by E. Vincent Evans (London, 1910), pp. 25-36, and re-printed in T.
