A cursory examination of the items included in the manuscript suggests that about ten of the poems are not recorded in other manuscripts. The volume is written in several hands of the late sixteenth century including those of Simwnt Fychan (ff. 73-75) and Wiliam Cynwal (ff. 79-81), two of the bardic pupils of Gruffudd Hiraethog, and also the hand of Rhys Cain, the herald bard of Oswestry, who was a pupil of Wiliam Llŷn, another of Gruffudd Hiraethog's pupils (ff. 4-6 verso, 101 verso-148 verso).

Mae'n debyg i'r gyfrol gael ei ailddefnyddio fel llyfr nodiadau (gw. t. 251) ond oherwydd colled nifer o ddalennau ychydig iawn o olion o'r fath ddefnydd sydd wedi goroesi. Mae ychydig nodiadau mewn pensil ar tt. 247, 250-251 a thu mewn i'r clawr cefn mewn llaw diweddarach. = The volume was apparently reused as a 'Mamarandam Boock' (see p. 251) but due to the loss of several leaves little trace of such use remains. A few notes in pencil on pp. 247, 250-251 and inside the back cover are in a later hand.
