- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the long-awaited 3rd and final edition, published by the University of Wales Press in February 2006. At 768 pages and $145, this is neither light nor inexpensive reading, but for those interested in Welsh history and literature - and especially the bardic arts of poetry and storytelling - it is a treasure-trove, not only for the material in the triads themselves but for the extensive footnotes and commentary that goes with them. The contents: Introduction (Manuscripts and Versions; Origin and Development of Trioedd Ynys Prydein) (99 pages); the Appendices (16 pages); Trioedd Ynys Prydein (Text and four appendices (The Names of the Island of Britain; The Descent of the Men of the North; The Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain; The Twenty-Four Knights of Arthur's Court)) (270 pages); Notes to Personal Names (46 pages); Abbreviations, Select Bibliography, and Index. Triads were groupings of three similar things to serve as a memory aid, and the Welsh triads may have originally been a sort of file-card index for the bards and storytellers in the days of primarily oral transmission of their material. A couple of examples: "2. Three Generous (Noble/Victorious) Men of the Island of Britain: Nudd the Generous, son of Senyllt; Mordaf the Generous, son of Serwan; Rhydderch the Generous, son of Tudwal Tudglyd. (And Arthur himself was more generous than the three.)" "21. Three Diademed Battle-leaders of the Island of Britain: Drystan son of Tallwch, and Hueil son of Caw, and Cai son of Cynyr of the Fine Beard. And one was diademed above the three of them: that was Bedwyr son of Bedrawc." Trioedd-Ynys-Prydein is a book for browsing, not for reading straight through. For those interested in Welsh sources, it will provide many happy hours.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Essential for anyone who studies Welsh literature, history, or culture
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Intriguing snippets from the welsh bardic tradition. Most interesting is triad 56, which speaks of the three wives of Arthur, all of whom are named Gvenhvyuar. And for those of you who thought Arthur a goody-goody--57 gives the names of his three mistresses.
