	Taliesin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His name is associated with the Book of Taliesin, a book of poems written down in the 10th century but which some scholars believed to date in large part from the 6th century.
		Of the poems in The Book of Taliesin, twelve are addressed to known historical kings such as Cynan Garwyn, king of Powys, and Gwallog of Elmet.
		The rest of the book comprises poems addressing mythological, religious or shamanistic topics, as well as a few works such as 'Armes Prydein Vawr', the content of which implies that they were by later authors, perhaps contemporary to the 10th century scribe who compiled the Book of Taliesin.

	Taliesin
		Taliesin is one of the earliest known Welsh poets.
		Taliesin knew what was happening, because he was a seer, and told Elphin's wife.
		When King Maelgwn attempted to show the finger to Elphin, he pointed out that his wife cut her fingernails more often than the owner of the finger, had servants to kneed dough and never had any under her nails, and her ring was loose on her finger, and that one was tight.

		Scholars consider the language of this book to be tenth century Welsh, but in Taliesin's day all poetry was transmitted orally and a plausible hypothesis is that his orally-transmitted poems were first written down in the tenth century using the contemporary spellings of that day.
		The Book of Taliesin contains twelve poems which are addressed to known historical kings such as Cynan Garwyn, king of Powys and Gwallawc of Elmet -- but most of his poems are addressed to Urien Rheged, and they are therefore considered to be genuine even by conservative historians.
		The tradition that Taliesin was the foster-son of Prince, later King, Elphin of Ceredigion and raised at his court in Aberdyfi is not scientifically provable but is credible.

	Early Welsh Manuscripts, Part III
		Taliesin and Aneurin (also spelled Aneirin) were contemporaries-poets in the bardic tradition writing in what is now Northwestern Britain around 600, during the Saxon invasions.
		However, the poems of Taliesin which remain are primarily homages to his ruler, Urien of Rheged, and his son, Owain ab Urien.
		Aneurin was a contemporary of Taliesin and the author of the famous Gododdin epic poem, in which he documented and commented on the defeat of a group of British warriors at the Battle of Catraeth (Catterick, Yorkshire), around 600 A.D. According to historian Peter Williams, this poem is remarkable for its unique and influential structure:

		From the Welsh literary epic "The Mabinogion", Taliesin was the son of Gwreang of Llanfair Caereinion.
		Taliesin returned to visit Gwenddydd in later life and it was she who helped him to compile his prophetic verses.
		Taliesin eventually leaves his family and departs for the Court of Cynfarch at Luguvalium (Carlisle), for he is needed for the battle to come, that of Camlanna.

		Traditionally Taliesin is said to have been a poet-seer who lived sometime around the 6th century in post-Roman occupied Wales, though the poetry attributed to him was prabably gathered in the 13th century.
		One legend is told of Taliesin in which he stole the "liquid mead of poetry" from a powerful shamaness.
		Taliesin finally assumes the form of a grain of wheat and the shamaness, becoming a hen, swallows him, only to give birth to him as a baby in resurrected form.

	Taliesin
		This historical Taliesin, it is thought, was probably born in Powys, as demonstrated by the poems to Cynan Garwyn king of Powys (also of this time period).
		There is also reference to Taliesin in the Mabinogi, wherein he is listed among the seven survivors of the Battle of Ireland; he is in the company of the Blessed Head of Bendigedfrân, in the story of "Branwen uerch Lyr".
		This Taliesin is said in some manuscripts to have been the son of a St. Henwg and descended of Llyr, and to have raised the church Llanhenwg at Carleon.

	Who is Taliesin?
		Scholars, beginning with Ifor Williams, have usually postulated that there are essentially "two Taliesins." The first is the historical bard, a professional poet serving the courts of Welsh princes in the North during the latter part of the sixth century, princes battling a constant influx of Anglo-Saxon invaders.
		The second Taliesin is a figure from mythology, one associated with other mythological figures, with folklore, and with arcane "metaphysical, transformational" poetry (Ford 1992, 3).
		This is the standard edition of the historical Taliesin poems, and Williams' numbering is used by most scholars who translate or refer to these texts.

	Taliesin \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		The thirteenth-century Book of Taliesin contains a body of poetry of diverse origins and different dates that the scribe presumably associated with Taliesin, but modern research has isolated some twelve poems that are regarded as his authentic work.
		The early medieval Welsh poet was a complex persona, and Taliesin acquired the status of a vaticinatory poet (perhaps conflated with the figure of Myrddin/Merlin) and purveyor of esoteric and learned lore, both bardic and Christian.
		Poems of the Story of Taliesin are spoken by Taliesin, but those in the Book of Taliesin, though lacking this specific context, nevertheless refer to similar circumstances and are to be dated to the tenth century.

		Through such revisions of the ancient works as those of Lhuyd and Powel, and the newer histories of Camden, the noble, wonderful tales of Geoffrey of Monmouth, concocted from his imagination as they might have been, retained their powerful hold on the Welsh consciousness.

	John Matthews, Taliesin: The Last Celtic Shaman
		The "other" Taliesin is a legend, a poet right out of mythology, who transforms himself from one shape to another, and is associated with arcane, abstract, metaphysical poems in which he describes himself as timeless, eternal and all-knowing.
		And that's the crux of the problem with this book; in its mingling of outdated with current, of academic scholarship with new age wishful thinking, the free-ranging combining of texts from different sources, and an excess of unsupported assertions, the book is not at all reliable in a scholarly sense.
		The last third of the book is particularly daft, as Matthews theorizes about ogham divination and attempts to equate insular and continental Celtic and Pictish animal iconography to the calendar, in a bizarre parody of the zodiac.
