Simwnt Fychan: 'Y Pum Llyfr Cerddwriaeth'
A transcript, [18/19 cent.], of Simwnt Fychan's bardic grammar, 'Y Pum Llyfr Cerddwriaeth'. The colophon on f. 1 shows that it is a copy of a manuscript written by William Maurice of Cefn-y-braich in 1664, formerly at Wynnstay (see Transactions of the Cymmrodorion, 2 (1828), 51-2) and presumably destroyed in the fire there in 1858, and that it descends from Simwnt Fychan's manuscript (now Jesus College MS XV (9)), through manuscripts written by Rhisiart ap Siôn of Sgorlegan (now Peniarth MS 160) and John Jones, Gellilyfdy, in 1605 (now NLW MS 7007C).
Rhan oPanton Manuscripts
A manuscript, in the hand of Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd), containing 'Cerddwriaeth Simwnt Fychan' (ff. 1-43 verso, first sequence) and the 'Rhetoreg' of William Salesbury, which was originally a translation of a Latin treatise on rhetoric (ff. 1-47, second sequence).
There are copious references to the source materials for both parts, the names mentioned including John Jones, Gellilyfdy, William Maurice and Roger Morris (ff. 1 (first sequence), 46 verso (second sequence)). A note by Ieuan Fardd states that he transcribed these works in 1776 (f. 46 verso). For Simwnt Fychan's 'Cerddwriaeth' see also Peniarth MS 159 and Jesus College MS 9.
