A translation into Welsh by Hugh Lewis of Wermueller’s Spiritual and most precious Pearl, a religious treatise, translated from the German into English by Miles Coverdale (Lond. 1550). See M. Williams’s Cofrestr o’r holl Lyfrau printjedig ... yn y Faith Gymraeg ... (Lond. 1717), Cambrian Bibliography by the rev. William Rowlands, ed. by the rev. D. S. Evans (Llandidloes, 1869, 8vo), p. 71. This is the first Welsh book printed at Oxford and the first occurrence of Rhydychen (Oxenford) in Oxford imprints. The translator begs the reader to excuse the absence of y in some places before n and r, the printer’s stock being too small. For the same reason dd is usually d’ and ll l’. If a word is here and there omitted it should be remembered that the printing is done by Englishmen!
