Brut a barddoniaeth

A volume, early 18 cent., containing an imperfect copy of a modernised version of the Historia of Geoffrey of Monmouth, which appears to correspond to the version in Brit. Mus. Addit. MS 14872, pp. 33-257. The Brit. Mus. manuscript is supposed to have been written by Thomas Prys of Plas Iolyn and NLW MS 11D is stated to have been copied in 1694 from a book written by Thomas Prys, but the two versions are quite different. NLW MSS 11D and 312D were both at one time in the possession of the same person; also pp. 263-4 of NLW MS 11D are really part of NLW MS 312D and have now been placed with it. Brit. Mus. Addit. MS 14872 is imperfect and begins on p. 2, l. 30 of NLW MS 312D, both manuscripts ending with the year 8 Charles II. All the poetry in NLW MS 312D is in the hand of Richard David of Llanymawddwy, who owned both NLW MS 312D and NLW MS 11D during the first quarter of the 18th century. NLW MS 312D also contains warrants, dated 1705, 1711, 1713-1714, relating to land tax in the hundred of Mawddwy.

Caneuon

A volume containing a collection of songs, in Welsh, some of which were written by John Thomas (Hoilienydd) and which were sent by him to William Thomas of Troedyrhiw, near Llandovery, in 1847.

Caneuon a charolau crefyddol

A volume containing religious songs and carols, in Welsh, of the 17th and 18th centuries. The authors were mostly natives of the Teifi Valley in Cardiganshire, where the book was written c. 1720; however, pp. 226-34 and 245-344 are in later hands. Many of the compositions were written by Evan Griffith of Twrgwyn, Cardiganshire. Dates of songs are incorporated in the last lines, but the author's meaning is not always certain and the dates in the latter portion cannot be relied upon. In some cases, the author's name has been obtained from Cwrtmawr MS 45.
