SynopsisThe Oxford Book of Welsh Verse is an anthology of poems written in the Welsh language between the sixth century AD and the present day. The long historyof this poetry gives it a striking diversity, ranging from the songs in praise of the chieftains of North Britain through eullogies to the independent princes of medieval Wales and the social poetry of the late Middle Ages to the moderbn idiom of our own time. Through it all there runs an element of tradition, which emphasizes the lyrical note and the perfection of form, and which imparts a degree of cohesion to the diverse elements. There is an Introduction in English., In Babylonian studies Wisdom is used to cover a group of texts similar in scope to the Biblical Wisdom books: discussions on the problem of suffering, teaching on the good life, fables or contest literature, and proverbs. These texts are not only of considerable literary merit, but are also of great importance to all students of the ancient Near East as revealing the thought pattern of the ancient Babylonians. In this volume, the cuneiform texts have been copied direct from the tablets and are accompanied by both transliteration and translation. An introductory chapter describes the cosmological background against which the works are to be set. Philological notes and a glossary complete the volume.
