      A photostat facsimile of a transcript of part of the (presumed) missing Llyfr Coch Asaph, the transcript having been made not from the original Llyfr Coch but from another transcript. It is a transcript of NLW MS 7011 (a Nefydd MS), which may itself have been a transcript of Robert Vaughan (1592?-1666) of Hengwrt's transcript, now Peniarth MS 231 in the National Library. Some idea of the contents, which relate to institutions, collations, confirmations, etc. in the diocese of St Asaph, may be obtained from an index contained in it (as in other transcripts) which was printed in Collectanea Topographica & Genealogica, Vol. II, 1934, and by Archdeacon David Richard Thomas (1833-1916), the historian of the diocese, in Archaeologia Cambrensis, April 1868. In addition to copies of some of the contents of the original Llyfr Coch, this transcript, again like other transcripts, contains copies of records taken from other sources such as the Alter liber pergamen of St Asaph (now also on deposit in the National Library) and the liber viridis, which may not have survived.
