Does anyone recognize these hands (in New College, Oxford MS 317)? #twitterhistorians #manuscripts #palaeography

1) W.W.E. Wynne (1801-80) is principally remembered for his custodianship of the Hengwrt-Peniarth collection of Welsh Manuscripts now National Library of Wales, though he also accumulated a significant collection of printed works about Wales, including this copy of Diddanwch Teuluaidd (1763) …

A long shot perhaps, but does anyone have an example of the hand of Christopher Hatton, 1st Baron Hatton (1605–70), or know where one may be found? #TwitterHistorians

A number of highly important Peniarth manuscripts have recently been digitised by National Library of Wales, including the mid-13th-century lawbook 'Llyfr Colan' (Peniarth 30), doubtless of Gwynedd origin, and one of Lewys Glyn Cothi's holograph collections of poetry (Peniarth 70).

Help please! How would you read the first word of this ownership inscription? '... Jones alias Bithelh me iure tenet' #palaeography

It's heartbreaking to see the current state of Nannau and Rhiwedog, two cornerstones of the bardic tradition in Meirionnydd. The latter, where the White Book of Rhydderch briefly found a home in the late 16th century, is currently for sale for £100,000.

It's always a humbling experience when you think you've made a big discovery then realise that someone (in this case the late Prof. R. Geraint Gruffydd) got there way before you.

1) This lovely 1657 copy of John Speidell’s Geometricall Extraction was owned by Nathanael Jones (c.1624-83) of Hendwr #Merionethshire

8) We need much more research on the ownership of printed books in early modern Wales - and Welsh country house libraries in general. [END]
