Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: One Taliessyn cite in 1755 Dict. v.2. No additional Taliessyn cites were identified in the 1773 Dict. The Dict. quote reads: Rhag Gwyar or Gnawd,/ Afar ystaenawd, perhaps from memory. The text used or remembered by SJ is unknown.; manuscript text: Rac gwyar ar gnawt/ rac afar ystaenawt. The quotation is on lines 10 and 11 of the image at left, from The Book of Taliesin (facsimile and transcription), Evans, 1910. The English translation found at the online Celtic Literature Collective (http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/lyfyrtaliesin.html) is: "Against gore on flesh,/ Against a dismal straining." However, "staining" would also fit the context of the lines.]
