A transcript, [?1693] (see f. 16), of the Annales Cambriae (ff. 1-15 verso). This version appears to agree in the main (apart from scribal errors) with text B of Ab Ithell's edition in the Rolls Series [see Annales Cambriae (A.D. 444-1288). ed. by J. Williams ab Ithel, M.A. (London, 1860)]. It begins (see p. 8 of Rolls edition): 'Annus v. pluvia sanguinea cecidit in Britannia' ... and ends 'Annus M.CC.LXXXVI. Combustio domorum apud Stratam Floridam'.
The old covers (ff. 16-17) comprise part of a deed between Sir Thomas Mostyn and John Ball.

A volume containing transcripts, 1890, by William John Roberts ('Gwilym Cowlyd') from Llanstephan MS 182, part i, ff. 1-25v, one of a group of manuscripts which had belonged to Angharad Llwyd (see note under 'Tarddiad'). Included are 'Llyma ossedigaethau y Dernas o waith Dyfnwal Moel Mwdd ...' (ff. 6-7v), 'Llyma y modd i ranwyd ac i mesurwyd, ac y rifwyd Cantrefydd a Chwmwdau holl Gymru, yn amser Llewelyn ap Gruffydd ...' (ff. 8-13), and an English version of 'Y pedwar brenin ar hugain cadarnaf' (ff. 51-60). Interleaved between ff. 14 and 49 is an imperfect copy, wanting title page, pp. 1-6, 68-72, of George Owen Harry, The genealogy of ... James ... king of great Brittayne ... (London, 1604), with notes by 'Gwilym Cowlyd' on f. 50 and by R. D. Roberts on ff. 13v-14, 35v, 49.

1. Vita sanctissimi atque doctissimi viri Gildae incipit ... A copy of the Life of Gildas, which is attributed to Caradog of Llancarvan (ff. 1-5 verso); 2. Incipiunt Chronica Venerabilis Bedae ... A copy of a version of the Annales Cambriae, which seems to correspond with MS C of Ab Ithell's edition in the Rolls Series [see Annales Cambriae (A.D. 444-1288). ed. by J. Williams ab Ithel, M.A. (London, 1860)]. There are only a few extracts from the beginning of the MS, until references to Britain become frequent (ff. 8-23); 3. Annales Cambriae ignoti Authoris. This seems to agree with MS B of the Rolls edition, while omitting the introductory material; the first entry is: 'Anno mortalitas magna fuit in Britannia, pro qua Cadwallader filius Catwallauni in minorem Britanniam aufugit' (see Rolls edition, p. 8). The editor on p. 109 states that in MS B opposite the last entry are the words 'non iven pe'; these are here extended to 'Non inveni plus' (ff. 25-37 verso).
   Also included are a single leaf containing entries for several years between 1116 and 1287 (f. 24 recto-verso); a leaf containing entries for several years between 1147 and 1298, the source being indicated by a note: 'Huc usque ex Libro vocato Doomesday reservato penes Rememoratorum Dominae Reginae in Scaccario Westmonasteri' (f. 38 recto-verso), and a page containing entries from the reign of Edelric son of Edgar to that of William Rufus (f. 39). The old vellum covers are part of a document in Latin whose contents are currently obscured following conservation (ff. 40-41).

The Winning of the Kingdom of Glamorgan from the Welsh, 1088, being the traditional account of Robert Fitzhamon and the twelve Norman knights who are said to have accompanied him, with an account of St. Donats Castle and the Stradling family, illustrated by numerous water-colour drawings and sketches.
