Custodial History

This is one of a group of manuscripts which had belonged to Angharad Llwyd and which were bought in the Tyn-y-rhyl, Flintshire sale in June 1890 by William John Roberts ('Gwilym Cowlyd'), who later sold them to Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore (see f. 13).
The volume was bequeathed by 'Gwilym Cowlyd' to Dr Thomas Evans Jones, Llanrwst, in 1904 (see inside front cover).
