A volume containing a copy of Cardiff MS 59 made by Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore (1856-1937), antiquary, at various dates between 1886 and 1891. The copy ends on p. 75 of the original manuscript and the rest of the original manuscript was copied into another volume, now NLW MS 142B. Though the original manuscript is usually attributed to Thomas Jones (Twm Sion Cati) he was in fact dead in 1611, when the manuscript was written; proof of this is to be seen in an Exchequer Deposition 8 Jas I, Easter 13, where Jones's widow is described as 'Dame Johan Devereux nowe wife of Sir George Devereux, knt., late wife of Thomas Jones, gent.', the date of this entry being April 12 1610. Voluminous notes by Phillimore have been added to the copied manuscript. With NLW MS 142B.

A volume containing an English-Welsh dictionary, c. beginning 18th century. Three englynion by John Rhydderch (1673-1735) are included at the end of the volume (p. 172). It is clear that John Rhydderch made use of this manuscript when compiling his own English-Welsh dictionary (Shrewsbury, 1725), in the preface of which he refers to three manuscript dictionaries, one of which was compiled by the Reverend Erasmus Lewis, vicar of Lampeter; it is therefore possible that NLW MS 321E was written by Erasmus Lewis.
