Excerpt from Report on Manuscripts in the Welsh Language, Vol. 1: Part 3; Peniarth

Welsh mss. Put together, - it is for these reasons that his name should be held in esteem and honour, and his memory kept green in every parish throughout Wales. It should also be stated that Vaughan collected a large number of mss. In English and Latin, dealing with the History of Wales and the Marches, as well as the best copy of Henry of Huntingdon, and one of the two leading texts of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, in a beautiful manuscript of the fourteenth century.

The great genealogical compilations of Lewis Dwnn and of Robert Vaughan, - mss. 268 and 287, - are deservedly held in high estimation, even though they may serve to mark stages in the growth of many a myth. Number 288 has the distinction of being the biggest manuscript in the Welsh language. It is however a mere copy of Number 287, with a few later additions.
