$75.00
Poems from the Book of Taliesin, edited, amended, & translated by J. Gwenogvryn Evans, published in 1915. The Book of Taliesin (Welsh: Llyfr Taliesin) is one of the most famous of Middle Welsh manuscripts, dating from the first half of the 14th century though many of the fifty-six poems it preserves are taken to originate in the 10th century or before. The volume contains some of the oldest poems in Welsh, possibly but not certainly dating back to the sixth century and to a real poet called Taliesin. Hardcover with gilt lettering on spine with only the very lightest shelfwear.
