Testament by Salesbury (1567). The difficulty of reading Salesbury's pedantic translation prompted William Morgan, vicar of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, to begin his translation of the Bible in 1578. Y Drych Cristianogawl [The Christian Mirror] (1586–7), probably the earliest book printed in Wales. The first Welsh translation of the complete Bible by William Morgan (1588). Morgan's Bible not only strengthened the hold of the Protestant faith in Wales, it also created a new and accessible prose. John Penry's pamphlet of 1588, An exhortation unto the governours.

Ty Coch Collection Purchased in 1910, the library of Edward Humphrey Owen (1850–1904), from Ty Coch, Caernarfon, is the third of the National Library of Wales' foundation collections. The 3,680 volumes are mainly of Welsh interest, with the 1567 New Testament and 1588 Bible to be found among some twenty books from the sixteenth century. Other items of interest are a first edition of Milton's Paradise lost (1668), numerous first editions of John Ruskin and George Borrow, and books from the Baskerville and Strawberry Hill presses. John Humphreys Davies Bequest When John Humphreys Davies died on 10 August 1926 he bequeathed his collection of over 10,000 printed volumes to the National Library of Wales.

Some of the early Welsh books that Davies collected contain leaves or signatures that were not in the copies that the National Library already possessed. The rare books include: Annerch ir Cymru (1721) by Ellis Pugh was the first Welsh book to be printed in America.
