A collection of cywyddau, awdlau and carols partly in the hand of William Bodwrda. Poems by Wiliam Cynwal are especially well represented in this manuscript (pp. 91-185), which is written in three different but contemporary hands. Pages 193-280 are of an earlier date than the remainder of the manuscript.
A volume of awdlau and cywyddau by various poets. The manuscript is a composite volume and is divided into four books: Part I (pp. 49-434), Part II (pp. 435-512), Part III (514-942) and Part IV (pp. 943-998). Pages 57-432 appear to have been written before 1563; the remainder belongs to the mid-seventeenth century.
Welsh poetry relating for the most part to the families of Nannau and Cors y Gedol, together with a history of the Gwydir family, etc. Pages 1-184 and 197-213 were transcribed, [c. 1690], by 'John Davies, commonly called John David Laes, a family poet at Nannau' (pp. iii, 497); pp. 217-232 and 289-295 are in the autograph of the Rev. William Wynn (p. 295); and pp. i-vii, 497-498 are in the hand of Lewis Morris of Anglesey. The remainder of the manuscript seems to belong to the first quarter of the eighteenth century.
