An Edition and Study of the Early Welsh Legendary and Prophetic Poems in the Book of Taliesin

14世纪的《威尔士四书》是最腐败、研究最少的一本书，其中包含了60首威尔士诗歌，创作时间从6世纪到12世纪不等。我将编辑和翻译（语言和文学评论）两个密切相关的群体：（a）29首诗（1718行），其中包含最早的（c。900-1200）阶段的传说，原型诗人，圣人和变形人;（B）五个政治预言（2991 ines）归因于阿塞辛。这项研究将提供一个详细和可靠的版本和研究，这将是服务于许多人在学术界和超越：文学和文化历史学家，历史语言学家，特别是凯尔特语言学家，比较感兴趣的，例如，在成长的诗人传说（参见。中世纪的维吉尔），中世纪的诗学，拉丁学习和本土传统之间的关系，以及预言现象。威尔士和其他地方对威尔士神话和传说感兴趣的非专家--诗人、有创造力的作家，以及越来越多的艺术家和音乐家--会发现这项研究是一个有用和可靠的资源，也许是对其他地方发现的怀尔德猜测的解毒剂。

The fourteenth-century Book of Taliesin, the most corrupt and least-studied of the 'Four Ancient Books of Wales' contains 60 Welsh poems dated variously from the sixth to the twelfth centuries. I would edit and translate (with linguistic and literary commentary) two closely related groups: (a) 29 poems (1718 lines) which contain the earliest (c. 900-1200) stages of the legend of Taliesin, archetypal poet, sage and shape shifter; (b) five political prophecies (2991ines) attributed to Taliesin. The research would provide a detailed and reliable edition and study which would be of service to many people in the academic world and beyond: literary and cultural historians, historical linguists, especially Celtic philologists, comparativists interested, for example, in the growth of poet legends (cf. the medieval Virgil), medieval poetics, the relationships between Latin learning and vernacular traditions, and the phenomenon of prophecy. Non-specialists in Wales and elsewhere who are interested in Welsh myth and legend- poets, creative writers, and increasingly artists and musicians- would find the study a useful and reliable resource, and perhaps an antidote to the wilder speculations found elsewhere.
