“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. -

National Assembly for Wales Public Accounts Committee PAC(40-31-14 ptn5 Mr Alun Ffred Jones AM Chair, Environment & Sustainability Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA Date: 25 November 2014 Our ref: HVT/2238/fgb Page: 1 of 3 Dear Alun THE WELL-BEING OF FUTURE GENERATIONS (WALES) BILL: DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE MINISTER FOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE AUDITOR GENERAL I am writing to provide the Committee with an update on the discussions between my lawyers and policy officials and those of the Welsh Government, following the Minister‟s meeting with me on 4 November 2014. The main issues that have been the subject of discussion have been our disagreement as to the requirements of existing audit duties in relation to the Bill, and our disagreement as to the National Assembly‟s legislative competence to introduce new duties on the Auditor General in relation to the Bill: In terms of the disagreement as to existing audit duties, the Welsh Government had been of the view that the Auditor General‟s existing duties in the audit of the accounts of local government and NHS bodies meant that the Auditor General was under a duty to consider the effectiveness and efficiency in the “setting of well-being objectives and taking all reasonable steps to achieve the objectives” (paragraph 390 of the Explanatory Memorandum). On the National Assembly‟s legislative competence, the Welsh Government had been of the view that providing a new duty relating to economy, efficiency and effectiveness on the Auditor General was outside competence. As the Committee is aware, the advice provided to me by Peter Oldham QC indicated that neither of these Welsh Government views of the law were correct. -
