Grab your goblet, gather 'round the hearth, and get ready to unlock the mysteries of ancient Wales with the Book of Taliesin! This revered manuscript, housed in the National Library of Wales, has more poems than you can shake Excalibur at. It dates back to at least the 14th century, but in here, you’ll find deep cuts believed to go back well before then. We’re talking 10th century or earlier!

Featuring timeless classics like "Song of Mead," and "Elegy of Uthyr Pen(dragon)" the Book of Taliesin captures the poetic spirit of early mediaeval Britain. Initially named by the 17th-century scholar Edward Lhuyd and once part of the grand collection at Hengwrt mansion, this manuscript bridges the ancient and mediaeval worlds, offering a lyrical journey through the heroics and mysticism of ages past.
