XIV - Crynodeb o Hen Bennillion Gwerinol' (the word 'diardd[el]' has been added to the title at a later date). The second copy is in the autograph of 'Myrddin Fardd' and is earlier in date but the beginning and end are wanting and the section here (pp. 29-72) corresponds to pp. 523-566 in the other copy.
