1) This lovely 1657 copy of John Speidell’s Geometricall Extraction was owned by Nathanael Jones (c.1624-83) of Hendwr #Merionethshire
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.
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.
Help please! How would you read the first word of this ownership inscription?

A number of highly important Peniarth manuscripts have recently been digitised by @NLWales, 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).

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

Does anyone recognize these hands (in @NewCollegeOx MS 317)?

The monumental Repertory has reached the Netherlands! Eagerly awaited and finally here on my desk. Not only will it have a resounding impact on scholarship, but also on the amount of bookshelf space left to me. Just being facetious here - congratulations @WelshMSS @NLWArchives!
