About “The four ancient books of Wales: containing the cymric poems attributed to the Bards of the sixth century”
The Four Ancient Books of Wales is a term coined by William Forbes Skene to describe four important medieval manuscripts written in Middle Welsh and dating from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They contain primarily poetry and prose, some contemporary and others tracing to traditions as early as the sixth and seventh centuries, including some of the earliest native Welsh references to King Arthur.
