Trioedd a phethau eraill', and the contents consist of transcripts of a Welsh poem in the form of a conversation between Age ('Henaint') and Youth ('Ienctyd') and a series of Welsh triads.

Custodial History

The inscription 'John Phillip, 1759, His Book, His hand [a]nd pen, his Book amen, 1759' appears at the very end of the volume, and this is probably the Siôn Philip of Tre-os [ parish of Llan-gan, co. Glamorgan] referred to in the note by Edward Williams (see IMCY, tt. 170-71).
