'Y modd y mesyrwyd ag y ranwyd ag y rifwyd kantrefydd a chymyday holl Gymry', from 'llyfr meistr Sion Llwyd o Lwyn y Maen yn ymyl Croesoswallt' (pp. 1-5); 'Y tair sir ar ddeg y sydd yn holl Gymry, ay trefydd ay dinessydd ay kymyday ay heglwysydd' [a valuable list of the parishes of Wales, printed in RMWL, I, pp. 911-20] (pp. 5-23); a fragment of Trystan ac Esyllt (p. 24); Disgrifiad Ynys Prydain, etc. [cf. Transactions of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, 1943-4, 35-61] (pp. 25-91); an extract from a Latin lawbook owned by 'Mr Powel' (p. 92); on the 'nations' (pp. 93-102); on the foundation of Oxford colleges, up to 1566 [excluding Jesus, founded in 1571], and Cambridge colleges up to 1557 (pp. 102-7); Dysgread Arfau [see Evan J.

On pp. 206-17 are Y Pedair Camp ar Hugain, Y Pedwar Mesur ar Hugain and 'Henwau hen wyr wrth gerdd'; other texts include 'Y Saith Gelfyddyd Ryddion' [D. Gwenallt Jones (ed.), Yr Areithiau Pros (Caerdydd, 1934), pp. 69-70; G.J. Williams & E.J. Jones (eds.), Gramadegau’r Penceirddiaid (Caerdydd, 1934), p. 207] (pp. 218-20) and 'Val y gwnaethir mewn ffest reia'’ [BBCS, 15 (1952-4), 116-19] (pp. 223–30). A good collaborating hand contributed two englynion on p. 205. The ink of the scribe is badly faded in places. Marginal additions in smaller script and blacker ink, including those on pp. 10-11 and 14-15 recording traditional lore [printed in RMWL, I, p. 911], are also in the hand of Wiliam Dafydd Llywelyn.

On p. 3 is an englyn in a good bardic hand and on pp. 6, 15 and 244-5 other englynion, etc. in an untidier hand; the additions of these two hands, [16-17 cent.], are anonymous and probably autograph.
