Book Find: Y Bibl

I like looking at old books. I like looking at books in other languages. So I was curious when I was in the Old and Rare section of our local used books store a couple weeks ago and saw the title of this Bible. Imagine my excitement to find that it's in Welsh, one of my favorite languages, and it was printed in honor of the coronation of an English King. I mean, I say!

Edward VII R & I
Coronwyd
Mehefin 26
1902
Duw gadwo'r Brenhin

("Edward VII R & I, coronated June 26 1902. God save the King." I'm not sure about the R & I.)
