A manuscript, apparently of St Davids provenance, which is now lost but receives a mention from John Leland in the 16th century. On the basis of this reference and others, it has been suggested that its contents included texts, or textual versions, of early charters associated with the house.
- s. ix/xii
Latin text of Welsh law, which was known to lawyers active in Gwynedd during the 13th century. This text or a related one may have provided the basis for the Latin text in London, British Library, MS Cotton Vespasian E xi, which refers to matters relating to both Gwynedd and south-west Wales. It has been suggested that the Llyfr y Tŷ Gwyn text became known in Gwynedd through the agency of Cadwgan, bishop of Bangor (1215-1236) and abbot of Whitland before that.
