A transcript, [18/19 cent.], of Simwnt Fychan's bardic grammar, 'Y Pum Llyfr Cerddwriaeth'. The colophon on f. 1 shows that it is a copy of a manuscript written by William Maurice of Cefn-y-braich in 1664, formerly at Wynnstay (see Transactions of the Cymmrodorion, 2 (1828), 51-2) and presumably destroyed in the fire there in 1858, and that it descends from Simwnt Fychan's manuscript (now Jesus College MS XV (9)), through manuscripts written by Rhisiart ap Siôn of Sgorlegan (now Peniarth MS 160) and John Jones, Gellilyfdy, in 1605 (now NLW MS 7007C).

A transcript by George Owen of a short work entitled The History of Brecknock. The work contains a short chronicle of events in British history up to the Norman invasion and the conquests of Bernard Newmarch.

A manuscript in the hand of John Jones, Gellilyfdy containing 'The Three Antiquities of Bryttaen' in six chapters. The material relates to the Welsh bards, the Welsh language and alphabet, and Welsh grammar.

Fragments of manuscripts found with MS 540B, possibly once part of Peniarth MS 326 (see D. Huws, 'A Welsh manuscript of Bede's De natura rerum', Bulletin of the Board of Celtic Studies, XXVII, p. 492). They comprise a leaf from Gerard of Cremona's Latin translation of Aristotle, De Caelo et terra, XIII cent. (f. l); a leaf of the Middle English Dives and Pauper, XV cent. (see NLWJ, xxii, p. 347) (f. 2); a fragment of a petition in Chancery of [ ] of 'Kellilyfday' [Gellilyfdy] concerning a book borrowed in 1643 by Thomas Jones of Kirchynan [Flintshire] and not returned, the petitioner no doubt being John Jones, Gellilyfdy (f. 3); a flyleaf of a book with Latin tags, an englyn and the name Richard Mores, XVII cent. (f. 4); a bon mot of Dr John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester, XVIII cent. (f. 5); a theological treatise entitled Circa generaliores regulas moralis Christianae sententiae aliquot quibus passim se opponit Schola Theologica Louanensis, XVII cent. (ff. 6-11); and an inventory of the goods of Thomas Wilkins, papermaker, of the parish of West Drayton, Middlesex, 1729, including the stock of a paper-mill (f. 12).

A manuscript containing Welsh laws (pp. 1-96) and the 'Elucidations' (pp. 97-535), written in the hand of John Jones, Gellilyfdy prior to 25 September 1619 (see pp. 67, 535). Where the text is imperfect Moses Williams has written its contents in the margins.
The text of pp. 1-96 of this manuscript corresponds with that of Peniarth MS 29, pp. 1-51, while the remainder may be a copy of Peniarth MS 278. The original of pp. 97-535 was either imperfect or frequently illegible as dots indicating lacunae are frequent. Much of the matter of this second part is the same as the 'Elucidations' in Ancient Laws and Institutes of Wales, Vol. ii, Book XIV. The text ends abruptly at the beginning of the sixth line on p. 535.
