The manuscript contains an incomplete copy of Peredur, a collection of texts relating the feats of Charlemagne including an incomplete copies of Pererindod Siarlymaen, Chronicl Turpin and Cân Rolant, and a collection of religious texts including Ystoria Adda, Y Groglith, Ystoria Bilatus, and Ystoria Judas. The missing text from Pererindod Siarlymaen corresponds the text in the first part of NLW Peniarth 8. J. Gwenogvryn Evans suggested that that manuscript is a copy of the missing text from NLW Peniarth 7 or a copy of the same original. A number of pages are missing from the manuscript, some blank pages have been bound into it, and many pages have been bound in the incorrect place. Numbers have been added to each column by a later hand.

This electronic edition was transcribed from a microfilm copy of the manuscript and checked against the original. The orthography and punctuation of the original manuscript have been followed, as has the original word division. A full stop in the transcription indicates a punctus in the manuscript, while a semi-colon in the transcription indicates a punctus elevatus in the manuscript. Words written as single items in the manuscript but considered as separate items today are separated by a vertical line, and scan as separate items in the word list and the word search. Words written as two words in the manuscript but considered as single words today appear separated by a dot in the transcription but scan as single words in the word list and word search.
Page numbers, columns, and lines have been encoded as well as gaps in the text, which may arise if the text is illegible or if there is damage to the manuscript. Gaps may also represent spaces left by the scribe. The presence of gaps in the text is noted in this edition, but the reason for them has not been recorded, nor has text been supplied to indicate their extent. Large initial capital letters have been encoded, but rubrication and other types of decoration have not. Apparent scribal errors which may have an effect on the intelligibility of the text have been provided with a 'sic' tag giving the editors' suggestion for a more intelligible reading. The purpose of these interventions is not to correct the scribe or infer that he is incorrect, but rather to indicate to the reader that unexpected readings are indeed true, and to make suggestions to add to the legibility of the text.
