Welsh poetry in the same hand as Mostyn MS 160 and Peniarth MS 114. The poets cited include Guto'r Glyn, Sion Phylip, Dafydd Nanmor and Wiliam Llŷn.

Canwyll y Cymry, carols and 'dyrïau', being compositions of the Reverend Rice Prichard, M.A. ('Yr Hen Ficer') (1579?-1644) (pp. 7-146), vicar of Llandovery, and others in the hand of William Salisbury, Bachymbyd. The manuscript was completed on 20th April 1637 (see pp. 148b, 327). The Reverend Prichard's works include a considerable number which seem never to have been published. Some of the poets whose works appear include Rhys Cain, Sion Tudur, Edmwnd Prys and Llywarch Hen. On p. 328 there is a note on the hot summer and early harvest of the year 1638, the harvest of 1637, and high winds in October 1638.

A manuscript containing poetry in praise of Gruffydd Dwnn, the bulk of it being in the autograph of Gruffydd Dwnn, though pp. 12 (Rhisiart Fynglwyd), 19 ('Syr John Teg'), 22 (Sion Brwynog), 41, 69, 108, 120 (Syr Owain ap Gwilym), 73, 74 (Morgan Elfael), 132c (Huw Llŷn), and 145 (unattributed, possibly autograph) are autograph works by the respective authors. Many of the poems are dated. Pp. 147-156 are in the holograph of Huw Llŷn (see notes on pp. 149, 153). P. 17 is inscribed 'ai kant pan oeddid yn kwplav y plas [nyr ystrad merthyr] o. k. 1533'. An inscription on p. 49 notes Syr Owain ap Gwilym as being 'ap Ieuan o dal y llynn' and, in relation to the poem, 'ai gwnaeth i ryffydd dwnn o hiraeth am rvffydd ag o eisse i weled ac ai danovones ynysgrifenedig i ryffyth donn' (see Peniarth MS 70, which evidently once belonged to the Gruffydd Dwnn Collection). P. 77 is inscribed probably in the hand of Gruffydd Dwnn (relating to the date 1533) 'pan oedd rys [the eldest son of Gruffydd Dwnn] yn 11 mlwydd oed. I mayr kywydd hwnn yn ysgrifenedig mywn llyfr arall i ryffydd Dwnn kyfaillt y llyfr hwnn'. On p. 83 the name of 'syr John teg' has been crossed out and that of 'Gyttvn Owein' [Gutun Owain] substituted, though Gutun Owain was dead long before the poem's date of 1526; the text, however, appears to be in the autograph of Gruffydd Dwnn. The last line of the poem beginning at p. 87 may not belong to the first as pp. 89-90 are missing. P. 104 is inscribed, apparently in the hand of Huw Llŷn in relation to the author of the work, Morus Dwyfech, 'ai kant pann oedd o. k. 1560 ac ynn hir llyn i gwnnaeth ef y ddau englynn hynn'. P. 126 is inscribed in the hand of Gruffydd Dwnn 'I mayr varnad honn yn ysgrifenedig yn y llyfr lle may englynyon yr eryr o law y gwr ai gwnaeth yr hwn lyfr a wnaeth gryffydd dwnn iddo i hyn yn gyntaf oll ond vn llyfr arall'. P. 144 is inscribed in the hand of Gruffydd Dwnn 'gyttvn owein ai kant i ryffydd dwnn' (although, according to the date of the poem, Gruffydd Dwnn was an infant at the time of its writing). P. 147 is inscribed (in relation to Wiliam Cynwal, the author of the englynion) 'a Gant y chwech englyn hynn yni ynnwedic lythr at ruffudd dwnn 1566' (only the fifth and sixth englyn of this series remain).
This is one of the manuscripts mentioned in Mostyn MS 184. Gwenogvryn (J. Gwenogvryn Evans, Report on Manuscripts in the Welsh Language, vol. II, part II (London, 1903), p. 503) debates whether the englynion addressed to 'Gr: Dwnn o Gydweli' on at pp. 132-132b are in the hand of Owain Gwynedd.

Poetry, including the Ymrysson (flyting poetry) between Archdeacon Edmwnd Prys and Wiliam Cynwal (see Peniarth MS 43); other poets cited include Taliesin, Iolo Goch, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Gruffudd Hiraethog.
For the englynion numbered 28-118 cf. Peniarth MS 70, pp. 59-66.

A manuscript containing poetry of James Rhys Parry ('Eos Eyas' or 'Eos Ewyas'; fl. 1570?-1625?).

A manuscript entitled 'Carpiog Aber Llyfeni', i.e. the 'Tattered [Book] of Aberllefenni, containing poetry, the poets cited including Iolo Goch, Huw Machno, Siôn Mawddwy, Siôn Brwynog, Guto'r Glyn, Rhisiart Phylip, Siôn Phylip and others. There is an index to authors, alphabetically arranged, 1746, by Richard Morris on pp. 673-689; and a list of first lines, with authors' names, on pp. 693-711.
The volume is made up of two different manuscripts. Fifteen poems are wanting at the beginning of the first part, which breaks off in the middle of its 105th poem (p. 176). The second part begins in the middle of its 20th poem (p. 177) and ends with the 12th line of its 309th poem. Pp. 1-668 are written in the same hand as that of Mostyn MS 160 and Peniarth MS 114, while pp. 669-712 are in later hands.

A manuscript, 'ex Autographo D'ni H. Salesbury de Llan rwst penes dnm R. Salesbury de Rug', containing pedigrees and poetry.
Pp. 1-22 are in the hand of David Parry, and pp. 23-36 probably also in his hand. The poets cited include Taliesin, Sion Tudur and Dafydd ab Edmwnd.

A manuscript containing poetry (pp. 3-10, 54-179, 181-362), the poets cited including Iolo Goch, Dafydd ap Gwilym, Tudur Aled, Guto'r Glyn and Siôn Phylip; medical recipes taken from the texts of Meddygon Myddfai (pp. 11-16); Disgrifiad Arfau ('a Jon Trevor ai troes or Lladin ar ffrangeck yn gymraeck - August 1 . 1632' (pp. 25-53); a copy of a document relating to the boundaries of Cyfeiliog (p. 180), which bears a note at the end: 'It doeth beare date 1204 Mr. Edw: Herbert of Mountgomery had thorriginall deed in keepinge; Mr. Jenkyn gwyn and Mr. Ifan llwyd ap dd: esqrs. did copy the same per me Wythen Jones.'
The text is written in several hands, the principal hand occurring at pp. 3-10, 55-222, ?267-350, c. 1636 (see p. 219). The text was copied from a manuscript belonging to Evan Bowen of Penyrallt, Llanidloes.

A manuscript dated c. 1726 (see p. 63) containing poetry, the poets cited including Elis Cadwaladr, Huw Morys and Rees Ellis.

A manuscript containing poetry by Iolo Goch, Dafydd ap Gwilym, Tudur Aled, Siôn Cent and others written in a hand similar to Llanstephan MS 163, pp. 1-102. The end of the manuscript contains a copy of pp. 392-406 of Philosophical Transactions (printed 1683).

'Gossodedigaetheu a Messureu y Deyrnas, Cantrevi a Chymydeu Kymry', being a list of hundreds, commotes and other geographical divisions within Wales. At the end of every division is a list of its castles.
The list of 'Cantreds and Commotes of Wales' (p. 5) agrees practically with the one in Peniarth MS 163.

A 'Copy of the Dedication of, and Preface to Sir Thomas Wiliems's Latin-British Dictionary', together with notes on the life and work of Dr John Davies, Mallwyd, and ballads, which include the works of Rowland Fychan of Caer-gai, Lewis Morris and Richard Abraham, written c. 1738 (see p. 2). Also including englynion to Robert Vaughan, Caer-gai by Dr John Davies; a translation by Dr Davies of Thomas Wiliems's dedication of his Dictionary to Sir Richard Wynne, Gwydir; and notes concerning Thomas Wiliems's Dictionary at Hengwrt, with a copy of its Preface (see Peniarth MS 228).

Medical recipes similar to those of 'Meddygon Myddfai', written 1693 (see p. 73).

Pages 1-27 are in the autograph of James Davies ('Iaco ab Dewi'); pp. 29-121 were 'wrote by J. Morgan' (p. 121); pp. 122-126 are in the hand of Samuel Williams; pp. 127-41, 144-153 are in the hand of W[illiam] Maurice; and p. 154 is in the hand of the Reverend Moses Williams.

An imperfect manuscript in several hands containing Welsh poetry, including the works of Tudur Aled, Siôn Brwynog, Simwnt Fychan and others.

A manuscript containing flyting poetry exchanged between Archdeacon Edmwnd Prys and Wiliam Cynwal. Following the death of Wiliam Cynwal, Edmwnd Prys breaks off the exchange and composes an elegy to his erstwhile poetic rival (p. 177). Another elegy by Edmwnd Prys, to Siôn Phylip, occurs on p. 187. Richard Morris indexed the manuscript for W. Jones, Armiger, R.S.S., London, 1747 (see pp. iii-v). At p. 124 there is a copy of a letter from Edmwnd Prys to Wiliam Cynwal which refers to nine cywyddau of Wiliam Cynwal, of which a note on p. 93 of Peniarth MS 125 informs us the ninth was lost.
The extensive explanatory marginalia accompanying the compositions of Edmwnd Prys, coupled with the fact that the elegy to Siôn Phylip was evidently once folded and carried in the pocket, suggests that this manuscript may be a holograph once belonging to Edmwnd Prys. Much of the text of this manuscript, or one of the same archetype, was transcribed into Peniarth MS 125, though Peniarth MS 49 has four additional lines following 'Dôd i ddôl dedwdd Wiliam ...'.

A manuscript containing poetry of Siôn Cent, Siôn Mawddwy and others.

A manuscript containing poetry of Taliesin, Dafydd Ddu Hiraddug, Sion Tudur, Gruffudd ab yr Ynad Coch and others (pp. 1-52); the Twenty-four Feats (pp. 53-55); triads of the court of Arthur (pp. 56-57); carols (pp. 65-79); proverbs collected by Gruffudd Hiraethog (pp. 81-126); prayers (pp. 127-136); etc.
At p. 8 three triplets are written in the margin. For the estimated date of the manuscript see pp. 80, 132. The text at p. 127 differs greatly from that in the Book of Taliesin (see Peniarth MS 2).

A manuscript, written in the same hand as Llanstephan MSS 123-125, containing poetry, the poets cited including Taliesin, Iolo Goch, Dafydd ap Gwilym, Lewis Glyn Cothi and Siôn Phylip. The first half of the cywydd at p. 35 is missing. The poems at pp. 37, 40, 43 were copied from imperfect originals and are full of lacunae. That which appears at p. 292 is apparently not the beginning of the poem as there is a page left blank between this and the previous poem. On pp. 633-646 is an index, with the poets' names arranged alphabetically, 'made by Richard Morris for Wm: Jones F.R.S. in London 1746.'

A manuscript written after 1643 (see p. 199) containing poetry, the poets cited including Iolo Goch, Ieuan Tew Brydydd, Wiliam Cynwal, Lewis Menai and Siôn and Rhisiart Phylip. An index, with the poets' names arranged alphabetically, has been added at pp. 641-651 by Richard Morris 'i Wm: Jones F.R.S. yn llundain 1746'.
The original or originals of this manuscript were apparently often defective as many lacunae and imperfect lines occur: the beginning of the poem at p. 139 is wanting and the rest is very imperfect; the beginning of the poem at p. 181 is wanting as that which is noted as the first line here is in fact the 8th or 10th line; 'A chanoes ac ychwaneg a ranno dvw ir wen dêg' is added in a later hand on p. 316; an addition in the margin at p. 435 ends the poem with 'do'n ifanc ai i nefoedd'.

A manuscript containing poetry (pp. 5-18, 42-162), the poets cited including Iolo Goch, Dafydd ap Gwilym, Guto'r Glyn, Siôn Cent and Iorwerth Fynglwyd; apocryphal gospels (pp. 21-31); 'y Discibl ar Athro', which includes a brief summary of the Elucidarium (pp. 32-35); &c.
The manuscript is in several hands, with a few later additions to the text. Pp. 5-15 l. 6, 77-99 l. 9, 115-122, 131-136, 161-162 are in the same hand. The manuscript is sewn into a piece of old parchment dated 1647. Poetic marginalia occur at pp. 13, 77, 81, 82, 83, 85, 87, 93, 97, 103, 131, 146, 151. The work beginning at p. 108 is in the autograph of Rhys Cain or that of his son, Siôn Cain. The work beginning at p. 112 is apparently in the autograph of Siôn Clywedog (cf. an autograph englyn by Siôn Clywedog in the margin of p. 127). The work beginning at p. 144 appears to be in the autograph of Lewys Dwnn - cf. a note in the same hand relating to the work beginning at p. 139.
