Apr 18, RedL. Second cycle in what I believe is Merlin's epic, interesting enough to make me want to read the rest of the issues I have lying around, but not really fascinating, not yet at least. I am not sure what I think of the art.

It works well enough but I don't find it particularly pretty or smooth. I understand some of the texts are meant to be poetic but didn't sound poignant to me.

As for his soul, it is doomed to don the body of a toad. Most folklorists, especially Francis Gourvil who discovered in a "Chant Royal" whose existence was stated by two 18th century authors, look on the Barzhaz ballad "Gwenc'hlan" as on a forgery composed by the young scholar in combining bookish reminiscences, in particular Welsh Bardic poetry. These Wesh poems became his favourite references as a consequence of his partaking in the "eisteddfod" at Abergavenny.

Now it was formerly kept there, according to two linguists, the Reverend Le Pelletier and the Capucin monk Gregory of Rostrenen. Both of them had composed Breton dictionaries where they respectively quoted excerpts from this document, or mentioned its existence. Dom Le Pelletier - compiled a "Dictionary of the Breton language" which was published after his death, in The Reverend Taillandier who wrote the preface to the posthumous work stated on page VIII that "the oldest monument in Breton language found by the Reverend Pelletier was a MS dating from the year , namely a collection of prophecies by an alleged seer named Gwinglaff.

Gwinglaff is really quoted three times in this dictionary: Before Doomsday shall be yielded By the worst soil the best wheat. Gwenogwryn Evans des "Editions diplomatiques des manuscrits de Galles". Il se nommait Phoebicius; il chantait-et-composait-des-hymnes-en-l'honneur-du-dieu aedituus!

The earliest large scale "Eisteddfod" took place in Carmarthen, in The next recorded "eisteddfod" was held in Caerwys in As time went by, the standard of the main "eisteddfod" deteriorated. In , an "eisteddfod" was held in Corwen where for the first time the public were admitted. The first "eisteddfod" of the revival was held in Primrose Hill, London in October, The Breton intellectuals are indebted to the Biblical Society of London for creating links with their colleagues in Britain, as they had appointed Le Gonidec to translate the Old Testament into Breton.

The both were immediately admitted to honorary membership, along with Le Gonidec. The young man wrote then to the Chairman and asked to compete, on the occasion of the next "eisteddfod" whose venue was the little town Abergavenny , in a contest to submit a essay on the "influence of Welsh Tradition upon European literatures". In support of his request he pointed out that he had gathered a large amount of Breton Bardic songs some of them, so he wrote, could be dated as far back as to the 5th century.

Thanks to one of his acquaintances, Count de Montalembert, a Peer of France, he was entrusted by the Ministry of Eductation with an official mission accompanied with a subsidy of Francs. He also draws the Minister's attention to the importance of literary gatherings like these eisteddfods "as supports of old patriotism He had been admitted as a member of the "Order of Bards of the Isle of Britain" and found a model in the endeavours made by Owen Jones - , a London furrier also known as Bard "Myvyr" , to publish in Welsh without translations, between and , with a former stonemason turned into a Welsh man of letters, Edward Williams, alias "Iolo Morgannwg" Edward of Glamorgan, - and William Owen Pughe , the "literary heritage of the Welsh nation" under the title "Myvyrian Archaeology of Wales".

References to the "Myvyrian" are countless in the Barzhaz. Y Myvyrian Archaiology excerpts from Mary Jones' Celtic Encylopedia It was one of the earliest printed collections of medieval Welsh literature, culled from many manuscripts, including the so-called "Four Ancient Books of Wales. Gwenogwryn Evans' diplomatic editions of the medieval Welsh manuscripts.

However, not all that Morgannwg had was of his own hand. The first volume were "bruts", i. The second volume contained the Welsh Triads Trioedd Ynys Prydain , though unfortunately in Morgannwg's "improved" form i.

That's what Ausonius infers when he states that Phoebicius is poor in spite of his illustrious origin and remained so in spite of his position as a bard.
