Scope and Content

An imperfect volume containing an incomplete copy of a transcript (1786) by Rees Lloyd of an interlude which, in a note at the end of the volume, is attributed to Hugh Jones [poet and editor] of Llangwm [co. Denbigh]. The first few pages of Lloyd's transcript [?containing the title- page and a section of the prologue] are missing, but this defect has been partly remedied by the insertion at the beginning of the volume of two loose leaves, in a different hand, containing what appears to be a transcript of part of the missing introductory portion. The chief characters in the drama are Pandosto, king of Bohemia, Belaria, wife of Pandosto, Eigistus, king of Sicily, and Prince Dorastus, son of Eigistus.
