  • “The Prophecies of Fferyll”: Virgilian Reception in Wales
    “The Prophecies of Fferyll”: Virgilian Reception in Wales Revised from a paper given to the Virgil Society on 18 May 2013 Davies Whenever I make the short journey from my home to Swansea’s railway station, I pass two shops which remind me of Virgil. Both are chemist shops, both belong to large retail empires. The name-boards above their doors proclaim that each shop is not only a “pharmacy” but also a fferyllfa, literally “Virgil’s place”. In bilingual Wales homage is paid to the greatest of poets every time we collect a prescription! The Welsh words for a chemist or pharmacist fferyllydd( ), for pharmaceutical science (fferylliaeth), for a retort (fferyllwydr) are – like fferyllfa,the chemist’s shop – all derived from Fferyll, a learned form of Virgil’s name regularly used by writers and poets of the Middle Ages in Wales.1 For example, the 14th-century Dafydd ap Gwilym, in one of his love poems, pic- tures his beloved as an enchantress and the silver harp that she is imagined playing as o ffyrf gelfyddyd Fferyll (“shaped by Virgil’s mighty art”).2 This is, of course, the Virgil “of popular legend”, as Comparetti describes him: the Virgil of the Neapolitan tales narrated by Gervase of Tilbury and Conrad of Querfurt, Virgil the magician and alchemist, whose literary roots may be in Ecl. 8, a fascinating counterfoil to the prophet of the Christian interpretation of Ecl. 4.3 Not that the role of magician and the role of prophet were so differentiated in the medieval mind as they might be today.

  • Groundwater Level and Quality Monitoring in Wales: An
    Natural Resources Wales’ monitoring networks for groundwater level and quality Authors: David A Jones1 Gareth J Farr2 1Natural Resources Wales (formerly Environment Agency Wales) Ty Cambria, 29 Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0TP 2Present address: British Geological Survey, Columbus House, Greenmeadow Springs, Tongwynlais, Cardiff, CF15 7NE Introduction Natural Resources Wales, which was formed in April 2013, has taken over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales, as well as some functions of Welsh Government. Its purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, enhanced and used, now and in the future. This includes ensuring that the quality of groundwater, surface water and coastal waters continues to improve. In Wales, groundwater only contributes around 3% of the total public water supply (Environment Agency, 2008a). However, it is still an important resource in rural areas where records held by local authorities identify at least 21,000 private water supplies, typically comprising shallow wells, boreholes and spring sources. Groundwater also provides baseflow to rivers and groundwater dependent wetlands. Therefore it is important that sufficient data is available to understand, manage, protect, forecast and report on the quality and availability of groundwater. 1 Since 2000 the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) has been the key driver for monitoring groundwater levels and quality. The data that is collected is used to define the status of groundwater in both quantitative and chemical terms as either ‘good’ or ‘poor’. Data is also needed to inform decisions on groundwater protection, abstraction licensing, groundwater modelling and other local investigations.
