Anonymous (Old Welsh)

The Welsh poems here are those of the Black Book of Carmarthen (about 1250) and the Red Book of Hergest (about 1400), including prophecy, praise, religious verse, the Verses of the Graves and the poem of Geraint son of Erbin, that carry no ascription or only a doubtful one. Their composition ranges from the early Middle Ages to the twelfth century.

They are given in the English translation by the Rev. D. Silvan Evans, printed with the Welsh in William F. Skene's The Four Ancient Books of Wales (1868), under Skene's titles and numbers. Where a poem is also found in the Book of Taliesin, Williams's version is credited too.
