		Taliesin exemplified the image of the poet as sober craftsman and upholder of the social order.

	Mystical-WWW - The Arthurian A 2 Z listing T
		Although Taliesin in many texts is reported as a sixth-century Welsh bard who was a contemporary of 'King Arthur' and lived during a time of growth of the Celtic church, others argue that the writings of Taliesin are merely a name given to a group of writers and works.
		Taliesin is described as having journeyed with Arthur to Annwn when the King successfully sought the 'Thirteen Treasures of Britain' (See Hallows of Britain), and as a result his mystical abilities led Taliesin to be compared to 'Merlin' (See Merlin).
		Taliesin is said to have been found, according to Welsh tradition, in the weir belonging to 'Gwydno' (See Gwyddno), having been cast into the water in a leather bag, although some legends say that the Ceridwen's baby was placed in a coracle to be found by Elphin at the salmon weir.

	Taliesin: the Cymric Master Bard and hero, also known as Talyesin, Talyessin, Taliessin (Radiant Brow)
		Taliesin is probably the most famous of the cynfeirdd (the early bards); the first bards to write in Old Cymric.
		However, in the Taliesin poem Ardwyre reget (Rheged Arise!) which is a praise poem to Urien of Rheged we have the line neu ti rygosteis kyn bwyf teu (I have watched over you; though I am not one of yours) which suggests that Taliesin came only as a visitor to Urien's court.
		The final element of the true historical Taliesin's tale concerns his son, Afaon who is known from the Breuddwyd Rhonabwy as 'The most eloquent and wise young lad within this realm; Addaon son of Telesin' (medial 'f' and 'dd' are interchangeable in Middle Cymric).

		If not, then the Taliesin poems would have been quite different, and they would have been emended, that is to say "corrected," to their present form at a later date.
		The Book of Taliesin, a late 13th century manuscript, some of which is connected with neither the eulogist nor the legend, was done as an act of love by the last in a possible series of monks involved in the medieval cult of Taliesin.

	Who is Taliesin? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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 in Spring Green (as opposed to its winter address, Taliesin West in Arizona) is a six-hundred acre, odd and well-attended mix of preserved national resource and temporary home for apprentices.
		Taliesin has a tragic history, being the site of multiple murders committed by a disturbed servant who killed Wright’s paramour and her children.
		Taliesin translates as "shining brow," and this refers to the hill around which the house was built, in a sort of big, huggy L. Wright simply said, "if you build on top of the hill, you lose the hill."

	Llangynfelyn - Bedd Taliesin \| Taliesin\'s grave
		This is Taliesin ben beirdd, mentioned before in this work, and who flourished about the year 540; but on attentively considering this structure, we shall readily pronounce such an account to be wholly fabulous.
		In this chest was, many years ago, found a human skull; therefore, whether this was a cromlêch, and the skull that of a victim sacrificed, or the sepulchral tumulus of an Arch Druid, and this the remains of his reverend head, is a subject for conjecture.
		As Taliesin therefore was celebrated as a pious Christian, as well as an excellent poet, such a monument would undoubtedly be erected to him, and probably was in North Wales, where he spent the latter part of his life.

	The Testimony of Taliesin Jones
		Chief Bard of Britain and a Celtic shaman, the historical Taliesin lived in Wales in the sixth century, his poems the direct precursor to the Arthur legend as well as his own as a druidic shape-shifter and spiritual healer.
		When he observes and participates in one of Billy's healing sessions, Taliesin attaches himself to questions of faith with the fervour of a young man in need of distraction--especially after a mysterious wart affliction is prayed away.
		The Testimony of Taliesin Jones, because of that tediously earnest over-simplicity, is probably best suited for younger audiences: it's just too worried about nurturing its strident message to appeal to an audience that is unreceptive to this particular pulpit or desirous of a message.
