I'm so glad you're enjoying them!! I've been having a great time writing them. The Davies book is great--it's regarded as one of the most readable (and reliable) books on Welsh history for a general audience. I haven't had a chance to sit down and read it cover to cover, but the sections I have read have been fascinating. Hope you like it!-- posted by celfydd
» Boojum07 - Strange things happening with ancient texts...
All the books metioned in the article could be found in the Internet as readable texts (photos of the manuscripts is practicaaly useless for reader), but... some texts could be found only in translations (with many differencies between them). For example, I failed to find origignal welsh text of the famous "Cad Goddeu". Nowhere... Not a sign... I'm starting to think that Cad Goodeu actually deos not exist neither in the Red Book of Hergest nor in the Book of Taliesin, but it is just an early Engilsh (not Welsh) falsification.Tell me please, does the welsh text really exist?
