A catalogue of the books, pamphlets, manuscripts and writings of John Davies of Llannerch, Denbighshire, taken 1778. The books are catalogued according to size. The occasion for the compilation of this catalogue was a lease for fifteen years of Llannerch Hall granted by John Davies to the Rev. William Davies Shipley, dean of St Asaph. Also preserved within this volume are four leaves containing a catalogue of the manuscripts in the Llannerch Library, taken in 1740.

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.
