A volume, 17 cent., containing pedigrees and poetry, the pedigrees being of considerable interest as many of them have been brought down to 1670 and later. Three places entered in the list of contents - Festiniog, Nanheudwy and Rhiw bebyll - do not appear in the body of the manuscript, while Rhiw Saeson (p. 174) is omitted from the table of contents. The volume also contains miscellaneous poetry in Welsh and English. The pagination is defective (see under 'Extent & Medium') and it is possible that the paginator made a page for page copy of a manuscript in which these pages were wanting.

An interesting collection of Welsh poetry, mostly second half 17 cent., much of which is not found elsewhere. The work, most of which was written 1650-1660, appears to be in the hand of Robert Lloyd, although pp. 109-134 are in an earlier hand and it is also possible that some of the poems (either p. 152 or p. 195) are in the hand of Edward Morris of Perthillwydion; the writing is in places very indistinct. Also included (p. 107) is a copy of a bond dated 30 January 1656 and medical recipes (p. 155).
