Elis Gruffydd

This is Patrick Ford's scholarly edition of the Tale of Gwion Bach / Tale of Taliesin, the medieval romance which became attached to the character of the early historical poet Taliesin. The text is in Welsh, but the English Introduction and notes are illuminating, even for the person who doesn't read Welsh. For an English translation, get Ford's "The Mabinogi and Other Medieval Welsh Tales"

Based on Thomas Elyot, Castel of Helthe (1534?).
