A slate inscribed on one side with eleven lines of Welsh poetry, seemingly religious in nature, and written in the cywydd metre. The surface of the slate is particularly smooth and clean.
For transcripts see E. D. Jones, 'Ysgriflechi Cymraeg Ystrad Fflur', in Llên Cymru, 1 (1950), 1-6 (p. 5) and E. D. Jones, 'Inscribed Slates from Strata Florida', in Ceredigion, 1 (1950), 103-105 (p. 104).

A slate inscribed on one side with twenty-three lines of Welsh poetry in two columns in the cyhydedd naw ban metre; the second column in particular is imperfect.
For a transcript see E. D. Jones, 'Ysgriflechi Cymraeg Ystrad Fflur', in Llên Cymru, 1 (1950), 1-6 (p. 4). There is a reddish colour to the inscribed side of the slate (dye or chalk, likely applied at NLW for previous exhibitions).

A fifteenth-century manuscript of the Brut in English with continuation to 1450, written probably in the 1460s or 1470s in the West Midlands of England (indicated by the dialect) or possibly in Wales.
The text is the English translation of the Brut to 1333 followed by the usual continuation to 1377. The continuation for 1377-1450 (at which point the text ends abruptly) is, except for the years 1415-19, that of the unusual text printed by J. S. Davies in 1856, known as Davies's Chronicle. A quire and a half are wanting at the end of the manuscript; originally no doubt the text continued to 1461, as does Davies's Chronicle. The Brut with its continuation was printed by Caxton in 1480, and then frequently until 1530. Among additions to Brie's text of the Brut are the epitaphs of the Welsh and the English clerk on Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. On a blank page is a Latin epitaph for Mathew Goch, previously only known in a shorter form from a single manuscript (f. 181 verso). The manuscript is on paper, written by three or more hands, and as pastedowns and flyleaf has three leaves of a fine English noted missal of the twelfth century.

A slate containing an account for Strata Florida's grange of Hafodwen, inscribed with the names of eighteen tenants, fifteen on one side and a further three on the reverse, apparently recording, in 'tr[uggs]', the dues (probably of oats or oatmeal) payable to the abbey; a trugg was a dry measure equivalent to two bushels. Also inscribed on the reverse is a drawing of a man wearing a comb or a crown, with his tongue protruding.
For a transcript see E. D. Jones, 'Ysgriflechi Cymraeg Ystrad Fflur', in Llên Cymru, 1 (1950), 1-6 (p. 2); this however omits the record for one of the tenants, namely 'dd. vyr viij tr.' (third line from the top).

A slate inscribed with ten lines of Welsh poetry on one side and a further ten lines on the reverse. The poetry is written in the cywydd metre, with both lines of the first six couplets written together on the same line.
For a transcript see E. D. Jones, 'Ysgriflechi Cymraeg Ystrad Fflur', in Llên Cymru, 1 (1950), 1-6 (p. 5). There is a reddish colour to both sides (dye or chalk, likely applied at NLW for previous exhibitions).

A volume containing a Latin account of early British history in the form of a pedigree-chronicle from Aeneas and Julius Caesar to Yvor son of Cadwaladr and the Saxons, in the hand of Thomas Edenham (see ff. 4 verso, 7 and f. 41 verso ('Ednham' at foot of page)) at 'Berford' in 1483 (ff. 44 recto-verso, 67, 70, 79 verso, 80, 86 verso, 88 verso, 94 and 96 verso). Folios 4-19 verso were evidently written in 1487 (f. 18 verso). Thomas Edenham, O.F.M., was a native of Edenham, Lincolnshire (f. 7). The contents of ff. 31 verso-37 ('De ciuitate Lincolnie et eius preconiis') suggest that he remained within the diocese of Lincoln. The diocese offers several places called Barford (medieval 'Berford'): near Kettering, near Banbury and near Bedford; none has an obvious Franciscan connection.
