      A modern NLW note on the binding on f. 131 reads: ‘Ni chofnodwyd mwy am rwymiad llawysgrif Hendregadredd pan ddaeth i Ll.G.C. nag a welir yn J. Morris-Jones a T.H. Parry-Williams, Llawysgrif Hendregadredd (1933), t. x. Ail-rwymwyd y gyfrol gan atgyweirio rhai dalennau yn 1956. Anfoddhaol oedd y defnyddiau a gymerwyd at y gwaith hwn ac yn 1979 datgymalwyd y rhwymiad a gwaith atgyweirio 1956. At yr ail-atgyweirio cymerwyd memrwn newydd, wedi’i staenio rhag edrych yn or-wyn, a ‘collagen’ (croen selsig), gan ddefnyddio pâst blawd ac ychydig o gelatin ynddo. Rhoddwyd toddiant spermaseti 1.5% ar y dail er mwyn eu meddalu ac ymlacio, a’u sychu o dan bwysau ysgafn. Ail-rwymwyd mewn byrddau derw a ddaeth yn rhodd i Ll.G.C. gan Iarll Powis yn 1942, wedi’u torri o dderwen fawr a gwympodd ym mharc y castell yn 1939’. Internal rear cover stamped ‘J. Bowen’. NLW binding codes of 8/23 and 13/35 written in pencil on f. 1.
