327 ff. (ff. i-vi + pp. 1-642) ; 210 x 152 mm. Rebound in 1857: laid down inside the upper cover of the present NLW binding is one old calf cover of the pre-1857 binding (with a note on its origin attached); this, blindtooled, including an armorial stamp, was cut from what must originally have been the cover of a large folio book bound in [16 cent.]. Formerly ‘strongly bound in calf’ [RMWL], presumably the 1857 binding; rebound at NLW.

Additions in the italic hand of Humphrey Llwyd occur on pp. 202-3 and 310-15, including his own and his wife’s pedigrees. On p. 515 is an englyn signed by Wyllyam Jones, [16 cent, second ½], [father of John Jones of Gellilyfdy], and, in his hand, an addition to the text on p. 194. Other inscribed names of [16 cent., second ½] are John ap William [perhaps Siôn ap Wiliam ap Siôn] (p. 641) and Richard Jhons (p. 642). On p. 516 are englynion added by another hand of [16 cent., second ½]. A name on p. 143 is added in the hand of John Jones and on p. 370 is his copying mark; the hand of Robert Vaughan occurs on pp. 95, 462 and 479; there are a few notes in other hands of [16-17 cent.] (e.g. pp. 16, 156, 194, 274). Laid down on f. i is the library ticket of Robert Williames Vaughan; on ff. v and vi are notes on the manuscript by W.W.E. Wynne and J. Gwenogvryn Evans.

A well laid-out but unstructured collection of Welsh pedigrees, predominantly north-east Welsh, on the pattern of achau’r mamau, with decoration in red and green, in the excellent hand of Thomas ap Llywelyn ab Ithel of Bodfari. Written not before 1561 [see Peniarth MS 139ii, p. 403, once part of our manuscript] and not later than 1568 (there are additions in the hand of Humphrey Llwyd who died that year). Apart from some corrections and additions made by the scribe, it is otherwise little annotated. In addition to illustrative englynion (e.g. pp. 170, 348, 558) and short genealogical tracts it includes: an armorial, blazon in Welsh (pp. 98-112); annals, in Welsh, 1468-1551 (pp. 243-9); Y Tri Thlws ar Ddeg (p. 370); ‘llyma hen gymraec’ (pp. 495-503). The scribe’s foliation i-cclxxxxix survives on pp. 23-607; his index, the beginning wanting, is on pp. 1-21 (it includes references up to f. cccxiiii). The ink on some pages is faded and the upper edges of some leaves towards the end are damaged. Sections in Peniarth MS 139i and 139ii that are in the hand of Thomas ap Llywelyn but without his foliation appear to belong to the end of Peniarth MS 138.
