A volume entitled 'Welsh Pedigree' but containing Latin homilies and Welsh material relating to heraldry, poetry and music.

A composite volume in two sections, the first, [15 cent., first ¼ (after 1401)] (ff. 1-18), containing the Anglo-Norman treatise on Seneschaucy (ff. 4-7), Walter of Henley's treatise on husbandry in Anglo-Norman (ff. 7-10), and various legal texts (ff. 1-4, 10-18 verso); the second, [14 cent, first ½], a defective copy of an unidentified Latin text on vaticination (ff. 19-24). The two sections were probably not bound together until after 1837.
Section i is written by a single hand, in anglicana, in uniform script in pale ink, apart from f. 18 verso, which was evidently filled later by the same hand. Section ii is written in anglicana by a single hand of the first half of the fourteenth century, in brown ink. There is no rubrication. The scribe exaggerates ascenders in top lines and decorates them with profile heads. There are six stabmarks in the inner margin.

Medieval medical texts, written in Italy in the fourteenth century: Nicolaus [Salernitanus], Antidotarium (ff. 1-21 verso); [Johannes de Parma], Collectiones omnibus capitulorum libri Mesue (ff. 22-25); Compilatio flebotomie de qualibet vena (ff. 25-26); recipes, 'Cassia fistulatum...' (ff. 26-27); recipes in two later hands of XIV or XV cent. (ff. 27-37).
Folios 1 and 2, 6 and 7, 18 and 19 are palimpsests. The lower script, partly legible under ultra-violet light, is from a book of transacts of a notary, Albericus [?], 'notarius sacri palatii', written not much earlier than the medical texts; there is reference in one document (f. 12) to 'villa de quart' [?Quart, near Aosta].

The Welsh text of Brut y Brenhinedd written by the scribe of the Book of Taliesin (NLW Peniarth MS 2) during the first half of the fourteenth century. The text is followed by the pedigree of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.
