Excerpt from Essays in Welsh LiteratureWe are informed on good authority that a translation of the four gospels was in the library of the Cathedral at St. Asaph in the year 1282, and that it was considered old at that time. The Archbishop of Canterbury wrote to the priests of St. Asaph authorizing them to carry the ms. With them from house to house, and to read the same for the benefit of the people. What became of this copy is not known. Some think that Bishop Gold well, who was at St. Asaph about 1558, but who was forced to give up his position when Elizabeth became Queen of England, took the valuable volume with him to Rome. This is very probable, and the precious relic may yet come to light.Dr. Richard Davies, who was consecrated Bishop of St Asaph in 1559 or 1560, tells us that he saw a copy of the five books of Moses, when he was a boy, in the house of an educated uncle of his. No one, he says.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
