Cyfrol, 1750-[1752], yn llaw Edward Llwyd, Llundain, yn cynnwys copïau o wyth deg pum cerdd, cywyddau yn bennaf. Ymysg y beirdd a gynrhychiolir mae Dafydd Nanmor (5), Doctor John Cent (7), Rhys ap Ednyfed (2), Guto'r Glyn (6), Dafydd ap Gwilym (4), Syr Dafydd Trefor (2), Lewis Glyn Cothi (4), Wiliam Llŷn (3), Tudur Penllyn (2), Bleddyn Fardd (5), Meilir Brydydd (2), Llywarch Brydydd y Moch (2), Lewys Môn (2), Simwnt Fychan (2), Siôn Tudur (7), Edward ap Ralph (2) a Iolo Goch (2). = A volume, 1750-[1752], in the hand of Edward Llwyd, London, containing copies of eighty-five poems, mainly cywyddau. Amongst the poets represented are Dafydd Nanmor (5), Doctor John Cent (7), Rhys ap Ednyfed (2), Guto'r Glyn (6), Dafydd ap Gwilym (4), Syr Dafydd Trefor (2), Lewis Glyn Cothi (4), Wiliam Llŷn (3), Tudur Penllyn (2), Bleddyn Fardd (5), Meilir Brydydd (2), Llywarch Brydydd y Moch (2), Lewys Môn (2), Simwnt Fychan (2), Siôn Tudur (7), Edward ap Ralph (2) and Iolo Goch (2).
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.

Llyfr Mawr Gruffudd Hiraethog,

An informal collection of pedigrees in both narrative and tabular form in the variable hand of Gruffudd Hiraethog. Compiled between 1550 (pp. 216, 303) and 1558 (pp. 151, 379, 447, 453) with later additions. Apart from pp. 405-19, the pedigrees are almost all north Welsh. On p. 2, in the hand of Robert Vaughan, ‘Y llyvr mawr y mae Gr Hiraethog yn galw hwnn’ [of which Peniarth MS 133 also formed a part, see P.C. Bartrum, ‘Notes on the Welsh genealogical manuscripts’, Transactions of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, 1976, 106]. For Gruffudd’s named sources, see P.C. Bartrum, ‘Genealogical sources quoted by Gruffudd Hiraethog’, National Library of Wales Journal, 26 (1989-90), 1-9.
On pp. 99-106 and 305-8 are short Welsh armorials in blazon in Welsh, the former, of south Wales bias, drawn in part from ‘llyfr Lewys y Glyn’ [Lewys Glyn Cothi] (pp. 100, 107). On pp. 3-38 is an index in the hand of Wiliam Llŷn, whose foliation 1-248, with irregularities, is on pp. 41-463. Traces of several disrupted earlier foliations survive. Collaborating hands are Simwnt Fychan (pp. 45-6, 49-53, 79, 91, 393-5, and on p. 382 an autograph englyn, and on p. 426 his signature and a calligraphic alphabet), Huws’ X179 (pp. 157-66, 169-70, 171, 327) and Richard Longford (p. 345). There appear to be five collaborating hands, some of them resembling that of Gruffudd Hiraethog: A (fols 107-15); B (p. 167); C (pp. 381-2, once a folded sheet, containing annals and englynion); D (pp. 383-91 and 429-30, the latter leaf is displaced, containing text which came, as Robert Vaughan notes on p. 383, ‘allan or llyfr gwyn o Hergest’ [printed in National Library of Wales Journal, 17 (1971-2), 238-48]); E (pp. 457-62). E, under the heading ‘Swyddinbych Kwmwd Issaled’, transcribes the pedigree of ‘Mayster Robert ap Res ap Meredyth’ [died 1534, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, s.n. Ellis Price], citing ‘iache … o waith Tudyr [A]led a Robertt Iachwr [Robert ab Ieuan ap Hywel]’; the damaged colophon on p. 462 (probably copied with the text) names the scribe ‘[ ... ]s ap Robert ysgolhaic’ and mentions his wish that the book be preserved at ‘blas Mayster Doctor [ ... ]’.
