MS 1023B - Collection of Sermons and Recipes

The volume comprises sermons by R. W. (c. 1620), medical recipes in Welsh (1712), a Latin treatise on logic, and an English translation of a Latin stanza. The recipes are interspersed in a large, more modern, hand throughout the volume in margins and on blank leaves as well as in sections at the front and back of the manuscript. The sermons form by far the largest portion of the manuscript and appear to be preachers' drafts, complete with revisions, insertions, deletions, cross-throughs, and other marks of authorship. A list of sermons by R. W. is written on p. 20. in pencil beside this list are written the page numbers marking the beginning of each sermon in the manuscript. The list does not entirely coincide with the contents of the manuscript but is a good guide.
