THE MEDIEVAL WELSH RELIGIOUS LYRIC. Poems Of The Gogynfeirdd, 1137 – 1282. Introduced, text & translation by Catherine A. McKenna Published Ford & Bailie in 1991, 241 pages. “The Middle Welsh religious lyric has never been accessible for study by the medievalist who reads little or no Welsh. I have chosen sixteen poems, ranging from the Marwysgafn (deathbed poem) of Meilyr Brydydd, the first of the Gogynfeirdd whose names and work are known to us, to the meditative lyrics attributed to Gruffudd ab yr Ynad Coch and the Marwysgafn of Bleddyn Fardd, the last of the court poets who composed before the end of Welsh independence in 1282.” FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET. Still in the original shrink wrap. 9″l x 5-3/4″w x 3/4″d Weight: 1# 1 oz.
