William Morgan first translated the Bible into Welsh in 1588, but in 1620 Richard Parry, Bishop of St Asaph, produced this revised edition which corrected the print errors in the earlier version. It became the standard Welsh Bible for the next four centuries, helping to save the Welsh language. This first edition came from St. Mary’s Church, Bronllys. Cyfieithodd William Morgan y Beibl i’r Gymraeg am y tro cyntaf ym 1588, ond ym 1620, cyhoeddodd Richard Parry, Esgob Llanelwy, yr argraffiad diwygiedig hwn a gywirodd y gwallau argraffu yn y fersiwn gynharach. Hwn oedd y Beibl Cymraeg safonol am y pedair canrif nesaf, gan helpu i achub y Gymraeg. Daeth yr argraffiad cyntaf hwn o Eglwys y Santes Fair, Bronllys.
