The manuscript discusses the Welsh tradition of creating a verse or poetry to a strict metre in the Welsh language known as “cerdd dafod”. It also provides an abbreviated Welsh translation of the Latin grammar used in the Middle Ages. It is considered to be one of the oldest Welsh grammars in existence.
