The inscriptions on p. 81 and p. 83 and the note on p. 82 appear to indicate that they were intended as cover and 'title-page' respectively for a home-made booklet containing a corpus of 'englynion' by Jenkin Richards of Blaenau Gwent, co. Monmouth, extracted mainly 'o Lyfrau Harri Siôn o Bont y Pwl a Llyfr ym Meddiant Rhys Thomas, Argraffydd o'r Bont Faen ym Morganwg', but only four 'englynion', presumably meant to be attributed to this poet, follow on p. 84. Pp. 91-198 contain miscellaneous items including 91-2, notes headed 'On the oldest places of Christian Worship in Wales'; (continued)

93-7, 105-06, notes, generally derogatory, on the character and literary and metallurgical activities of Lewis Morris; 100- 04, notes on 'Welsh Ideas of Celibacy'; 122-8, a transcript of thirty 'englynion' entitled 'Ymatreg Llywelyn a Gwrnerth' attributed to Tysiliaw fab Brochwel Ysgithrawc; 130, a note relating to an 'eisteddfod' held at Y Pil (Pyle, co. Glamorgan), 1740; 131- 41, notes relating to 'singing to the harp', the 'bardd telyn', carol and 'alsain' verse, the adapting of verse to music, etc.; 147-62, transcripts of 'englynion' attributed to Rhobert, Tywysog Norddmanty, Morys Kyffin, Wm. Byrchinsha, and Gutto'r Glyn, extracts from the works of various Welsh poets, etc.; 167, a version of William Midleton's introductory epistle [to his Bardhoniaeth neu brydydhiaeth, y llyfr kyntaf (Llundain, 1593)] copied 'Ex Vol. 40. Mr. Panton' [i.e. Panton MS.40 now NLW MS 2008]; 168-9, five stanzas of a hymn tune attributed to Elis Wynn; 169, a transcript of two 'englynion' attributed to Dr. [John] Davies; 171, a list of the commotes and hundreds of Glamorgan copied from '68. P.P.' [i.e. Panton MS 68 now NLW MS 2034]; 175-88, an alphabetical list of Welsh bards 'o Lyfr D'dd Ddu o'r Eryri'; and 188-98, miscellanea including transcripts of 'englynion' attributed to Siôn Mawddwy, Ieuan Tew, William Philip, and D[afydd] ab Gwilym, miscellaneous triads, genealogical data relating to various Welsh bards and Syr Rhys ap Thomas, etc. Pp. 207-390 (previously paginated 1-184) contain a collection of maxims, proverbs, triads, sayings, etc., attributed to Cattwg Ddoeth and described on a 'title-page' to the section ( p. 199) as 'Llyma Ddoethineb Cattwg Ddoeth o Lancarvan' and in a concluding note (p. 390) as 'Llyfr y cyntaf y Gwyddfardd Cyfarwydd'. In a note on the aforementioned 'title-page' (p. 199) Edward Williams claims to have transcribed this collection in 1799 from a manuscript in the possession of Siams Thomas of Maerdy Newydd, co. Glamorgan. Preceding and following the actual text of the collection are transcripts of a prefatory letter dated 1685 (pp. 201-06) and of the concluding note already referred to (p. 390) both of which are attributed to the Glamorgan scribe and copyist Thomas ab Iefan of Tre Bryn as compiler of the manuscript from which Edward Williams was allegedly copying (see TLLM, t. 172; IM, tt. 291-4). Pp. 391-477 contain a transcript of a collection, in alphabetical order, of over three thousand Welsh proverbs attributed to Cattwg Ddoeth ('Llyma Ddiarhebion Cattwg Ddoeth . . . sef yw hwnn Ail Lyfr y Gwyddfardd Cyvarwydd'). This collection, according to the aforementioned note at the end of the preceding section (p. 390) attributed to Thomas ab Iefan, had been compiled by the said Thomas from various sources and formed a continuation of the previous section. Edward Williams's claim with regard to the Siams Thomas volume is probably intended to apply to the contents of pp. 391-477 as well. The contents of pp. 199-390 have been published in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales . . ., vol. III (London, 1807), pp. 1-99.

Barddoniaeth Gymraeg (Casgliad William Bodwrda),

Copi ffotostat o 'Harvard MS Welsh 8,' sef cyfrol yn perthyn i gasgliad llawysgrifau William Bodwrda yn cynnwys barddoniaeth Gymraeg gan feirdd o'r 14 gan. hyd at 17 gan., a gopïwyd [1640x1660]. = A photostat facsimile of 'Harvard MS Welsh 8' which is a volume from the collection of manuscripts of William Bodwrda containing Welsh poetry from 14 cent to 17 cent, copied [1640x1660]
Ceir awdlau, cywyddau a darnau o hen ganu brud yn y llawysgrif, nifer ohonynt yn canu i deuluoedd sir Gaernarfon; cerddi a briodolir i Daliesin a Llywarch Hen; a nifer o eitemau sy'n unig gopïau, sef gwaith Huw Pennant (tt. 13-17), Ifan Tew Brydydd (tt. 53-5), Howel ab Reinallt (tt. 65-7), Siôn Phylip (tt. 90-4), Syr Huw Roberts Llên (tt. 94-7), a Siôn Tudur (tt. 127-31). Mae'n debyg nad llaw William Bodwrda mo'r un o'r ddwy brif law yn y gyfrol, ond credir fod y llawysgrif yn gynsail i un neu fwy o lawysgrifau ffolio William Bodwrda, megis BL Add. 14966 a Mostyn 145 (NLW MS 3048D). = The manuscript comprises 'awdlau', 'cywyddau' and old vaticinatory poetry, many relating to Caernarfonshire families; poems attributed to Taliesin and Llywarch Hen; and a number of items which are unique copies, namely the works of Huw Pennant (pp. 13-17), Ifan Tew Brydydd (pp. 53-5), Howel ab Reinallt (pp. 65-7), Siôn Phylip (pp. 90-4), Sir Huw Roberts Llên (pp. 94-7) and Siôn Tudur (pp. 127-31). It seems that neither of the two main hands in the volume belong to William Bodwrda, although it is likely that the manuscript served as the basis for one or more of William Bodwrda's folio manuscripts, particularly BL Add. 14966 and Mostyn 145 (NLW MS 3048D).
