4.9/5 (31464 ratings)

Description:This book is the medieval manuscripts written in Middle Welsh and dating from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. These also contain some of the earliest native Welsh references to King Arthur.The four books included are: The Black Book of Carmarthen The Book of Taliesin The Book of Aneirin The Red Book of HergestThis corpus is one of the treasures of world literature. It is also the only true source material for the study of Bardic lore, which reputedly preserved the esoteric (and long-lost) beliefs of the Druids. Largely written to satisfy wealthy patrons, much of the subject matter is related to mead-inspired battles, particularly the renowned Gododin cycle. However, the poetry rises above the gory combat and toadying to achieve an artistic height that would not be reached for many centuries. Some of the later works, which use Christian themes as a jumping-off point, have an almost haiku-like quality. The poems are infused throughout with mystic clarity, strange flashes of wisdom, and insight into humanity and nature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
