Englynion y Beddau
The ''Englynion y Beddau'' ((英語:The Stanzas ''or'' Verses of the Graves)) is a Middle Welsh verse catalogue listing the resting places (''beddau'') of legendary heroes. It consists of a series of ''englynion'', or short stanzas in quantitative meter, and survives in a number of manuscripts. The collection is thought to be considerably older than its earliest manuscript, the 13th-century Black Book of Carmarthen, and provides an important early glimpse at medieval Welsh heroic tradition and topographical folklore.
==Transmission==
The stanzas, or more specifically, englynion, are transmitted in four classes of medieval Welsh manuscripts and later transcripts. The earliest, best known and most reliable version of the text is the collection of 73 englynion preserved in the Black Book of Carmarthen.〔Jones, "Black Book," p. 98.〕 The first 69 stanzas were copied in the first quarter of the 13th century, while the last four were added at a later stage, probably in the same century.〔 Five further englynion survive as part of the poetic cycles of Heledd and Llywarch Hen in the Red Book of Hergest and two transcripts, supposedly from the White Book of Rhydderch, made in the decades on both sides of 1600: BL, Additional MS 31055 and Peniarth MS 111.〔Jones, "Black Book," pp. 98-9.〕 The third significant group is represented by Dr John Davies' copy in NLW Peniarth 98(B) and a number of manuscripts which appear to go back to a 16th-century manuscript, now lost. It contains 18 stanzas in corrupt form, some of which are alternative versions of the englynion in the Black Book of Carmarthen.〔Jones, "Black Book," p. 99.〕 Finally, there is a single englyn milwr preserved in Wrexham MS 1 and still later manuscripts.〔
Although the earliest extant manuscript dates to the 13th century, much of the material is thought to be considerably earlier. According to Thomas Jones, the language, style and metre of the verses suggests a date of composition somewhere in the 9th or 10th century.〔Jones, "Black Book," p. 100.〕 Likewise, Jenny Rowlands has dated some of the stanzas contained in the Black Book text to the 9th century.〔Rowland, ''Early Welsh Saga Poetry'', p. 389.〕
