	White Book of Rhydderch
		While "Breudwyt Rhonabwy" ("The Dream of Rhonabwy") is missing from the White Book, it is assumed that it was originally placed between "Lludd" and "Owein," and later inserted into its place in the Red Book, at least according to J.
		Rhydderch was the descendent of the founder of Strata Florida, Lord Rhys of Deheubarth.
		Rhydderch is known as a patron of bards, the most prominant one of 14th-century Cardiganshire.

		White book of Rhydderch is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		The White book of Rhydderch (Welsh: Llyfr gwyn Rhydderch) is one of the most notable and celebrated manuscripts in Welsh.
		The stories of the Mabinogion appear in two Medieval Welsh manuscripts, the White book of Rhydderch (Llyfr Gwyn Rhydderch) written ca.1350, and the Red Book of Hergest (Llyfr Coch Hergest) written about 1382-1410, although fragments of these tales have been preserved in earlier thirteenth century manuscripts.

	Llyfr Gwyn Rhydderch
		Judging from the language and orthography the White Book was copied over a period extending from the late 1290s to the 1370s.
		Rhydderch came from a family with long traditions of literary patronage and, holding posts under the English crown was considered the 'most important' in Ceredigion at the time.
		Rhydderch's home was only some sixteen kilometres from the monastery of Ystrad Fflur and during the corresponding time (c 1362–1381) the abbot of the monastery there was a cultured man, Llywelyn Fychan ap Llywelyn Caplan; a patron of a number of the gogynfeirdd.

		The Four Branches, Kilhwch, and the romances are invaluable in the study of the Arthurian legend.
		Using just the Red Book of Hergest as her source, Lady Charlotte Guest (1812–95) published the first English translation of the Mabinogion between 1838 and 1849; she also gave the volume its title.
		Later the White Book of Rhydderch was discovered, containing older, finer versions of the tales in Guest’s work.

	Grail and cornucopia - A personal grail quest
		Similarly in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest we hear of Pryderi, son of Rhiannon and possibly a precursor of the later Arthurian hero Perceval, Perlesvaus, Parzifal or Peredur.
		However this is, I suggest, entirely forgivable in that the production of such books as Chrétien's or Robert's must have been severely limited and later versions perhaps simply attempts to write a version for their own audience, maybe in their own eyes a better or true or more "Christian" version.
		Though many of which and especially the “Welsh Triads”, the “Red”, “White” and “Black” Books etc are generally accepted, based on linguistic analysis and metre, to be written compilations of an oral tradition much older that these earliest written versions.

	The Mabinogion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Widely recognized as the finest tales of Celtic mythology, the 11 stories were preserved in two Welsh collections, "The White Book of Rhydderch" (c.1300-1325) and "The Red Book of Hergest" (1375-1425), though the stories themselves hail from an oral tradition dating back to the 10th century.

		This book is very accessible and easy to read.The many different stories are enchanting and make you think that you are actually there.

	Who was the real King Arthur
		The earliest account we have in our museums and libraries are copied manuscripts of Gildas’ writings of the 6th century, De excidio conquesta Britanniae; by his own account, born at the pinnacle of one of the great victories of the Britons attributed to Arthur, the Battle of Badon.
		It is also true, however, that Gildas (in his book of complaints against his fellow contemporary British kings and leaders) mentions the Battle of Badon but does not state who was the British leader - a ‘sin’ he is guilty of in many of his historical allusions.
		Most of the earliest stories relating to the exploits of Arthur are found in the Red Book of Hergest, the White Book of Rhydderch and the Black Book of Carmarthen (these books were named after the colour of their bindings).

	Llyfr Taliesin: The Book of Taliesin
		The Book of Taliesin is a small manuscript, missing its covers, and thus the beginning of the first poem; luckily, this poem is also contained in the Red Book of Hergest.
		The manuscript was the work of a single scribe, probably living in Glamorgan; this same scribe is thought to have produced other manuscripts, and J. Gwenogvryn Evans believed he worked on parts of the White Book of Rhydderch.
		It's exact history is unknown; it passed through the hands of several collectors during the seventeenth century, until finally being bought by Robert Vaughan, who added it to his library in Hengwrt, and stayed there until it entered the hands of W.W.E. Wynne in Peniarth.

		This book deals with the eight major figures in the Arthurian legends and how they have been individually represented in literature from its beginnings up to the present day.
		The first study of Arthurian materials to focus specifically on the characterization of individuals, this book also achieves an original perspective on the evolution of individual characters from mythic prototypes.

	EPONA.net - Later influences of Epona
		In the Old Welsh original her name is spelled Riannon [Rhydderch]; the now customary Rhiannon probably came about when Old Welsh texts were translated to modern Welsh for the Welsh to English translation of Lady Charlotte Guest.
		So, sometimes Epona is assumed to ride on a white horse; but this is an assumption based on the story of Rhiannon, and cannot be taken as a link between them.
		The story of Macha is described in the 12th century Leabhar na Nuachongbhála (Book of Leinster), which is archived as MS 1339 at Trinity College, Dublin [Leabhar].

	King Arthur Primer: Arthur
		The earliest full stories concerning King Arthur and his exploits appear to be the little known Welsh tales of "Culhwch and Olwen" and the "Dream of Rhonabwy".
		Though dating from before the 11th century, these two stories became a late attachment to a collection of Welsh mythological tales taken from the 14th century White Book of Rhydderch and Red Book of Hergest.
		Though he was writing some six hundred years after Arthur's death, there is no reason to suppose that Geoffrey's history was "made up...from an inordinate love of lying" as both contemporary and modern historians almost universally insist.

		This tale, estimated to have been written just prior to the Eleventh Century, is possibly the earliest Welsh vernacular text, and is preserved in both the Red Book of Hergest and the White Book of Rhydderch.
		These four tales are commonly referred to as the "Four Branches of the Mabinogion." They survive in the twelfth-century manuscripts of the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest.
		Recent scholarship suggests that the Red Book displays elements of oral tradition that support it as an earlier rendition than the White Book.

		It was used by Lady Charlotte Guest as the title of her translations from the Red Book of Hergest and of the Hanes Taliesin (first found in a sixteenth-century copy).
		She understood it to be the plural of mabinogi, to which in common with the Welsh scholars of her time she attributed an incorrect meaning.

	The Mabinogion and the Four Branches of the Mabinogi
		In his book Branwen[20], Mac Cana is a good deal more circumspect than his mentor in formulating all-encompassing hypotheses.
		However, for no particular reason, Hanson-Smith chooses to define the esoteric backdrop of the First Branch in terms of the Wasteland Myth: the ritual story of the healing of the magically blighted land (and the associated sickness of its elderly king) by a young hero.
		As recent scholarship is beginning to reveal, this Medieval Celtic novella can be seen as a rich and multifaceted work of art, a veritable panorama of the Native British mythological universe, containing within it the deeply personal vision of a man (or woman) wise beyond the cultural age of their time and place in history.
