THE TUDORS INTERPRETATION OF WELSH HISTORY AND DISCOVERY OF AMERICA PUT PN EBAY FOR £4,995
I found the attached article in the Western Mail today. I cannot believe that there has been no support from Wales of the book Written by Humphrey Llwyd and published in 1599, which has been attributed to as the first PRINTED WELSH HISTORY.The history also accounts for Madoc discovering American in 1170. Whether you agree with this premise is a personal opinion. the fact that THIS MANUSCRIPT HAS BEEN LOST TO OUR NATION AND IS SOOOOOOOO important. We must not lose it. It is as precious to our nation, and the Welsh migrants who have sailed the globe, as the pyramids are to Egypt.There is not much primary sources written history left. I would like to organise an online petition to be presented to the Welsh Assembly Government, the SENEDD to preserve and keep this manuscipt in Wales. Not just as a curiousity but as the heritage for our children and the generations to come.I would like to see it prchased and either placed in St. Fagans, the National Library of Wales, or any of the museum sites within Wales.PLEASE TAKE THIS CHANCE TO KEEP THE MANUSCRIPT OF HUMPHREY LLWYDBest..................

If that's an original copy and the others aren't, maybe it would be faster to contact St Fagans and the National Library to see if they want it and then contact the couple and see if they'll hold it while money is raised to purchase it, if they haven't already sold it. I couldn't find it on ebay but maybe there's another site for the UK?
Here's a link to the article you're talking about: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle/showbiz/2010/01/29/centuries-old-welsh-history-goes-on-sale-on-ebay-91466-25711404/ But it sounds like that's not the only one, it says, "Librarian Gwyn Davies, of the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, said there were several copies on view across the country."What a treasure that would be to own!
