[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note The Rev. John Williams ('Ab Ithel', 1811-1862), Anglican minister and antiquary, took his pseudonym from the surname of his grandfather, William Bethell, but for much of his earlier life he wrote under the name Cynhaval, after his birthplace in Llangynhafal, Denbighshire. He graduated from Jesus College, Oxford, in 1835, and became Anglican curate of Llanfor, Merionethshire, where he married Elizabeth Lloyd Williams; he became perpetual curate of Nerquis, Flintshire, in 1843, and rector of Llanymawddwy, Merionethshire, in 1849. His first book, concerning the relationship between the Church of England and Rome, was published in 1836, followed by another in 1844 on the ecclesiastical antiquities of Wales. Williams was industrious both as a parish priest and as an antiquary, but his enthusiasm and Welsh nationalist fervour often outran his knowledge and judgement. His uncritical approach to historical sources was strongly influenced by the romantic inventions of Edward Williams ('Iolo Morganwg', 1747-1826), and much of his work has since been discredited. Nevertheless, he was regarded by many as one of the leading Welsh scholars of his day, and was able to exert a Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 ABITHEL John Williams ('Ab Ithel') Papers, considerable and decidedly mixed influence on the course of Welsh scholarship. In 1846, together with Harry Longueville Jones (1806-1870), another cleric and antiquary, Williams founded the Cambrian Archaeological Association, whose journal, Archaeologia Cambrensis, he edited until 1853. He also published an edition and translation of the Gododdin in 1852, established the Cambrian Journal, which he edited from 1854 until his death, and was prominent in the Welsh Manuscripts Society, editing four of its publications. The Llangollen Eisteddfod of 1858, which he organized together with Richard Williams Morgan ('Mor Meirion', c. 1815-c. 1889) and Joseph Hughes ('Carn Ingli', 1803-1863), caused much derision and embarrassment; Williams' own family won several prizes, and Thomas Stephens (1821-1875) was adjudicated against because he suggested that the story of Madog ab Owain Gwynedd's American expeditions was not true. Williams was nevertheless considered for the chair of Celtic at Oxford University, and he was appointed by the government in 1858 to complete the editions of the medieval Welsh chronicles Annales Cambriae and Brut y Tywysogion, which had been left incomplete by Aneurin Owen (1792-1851), and which were published in 1860. His editorial work was later severely criticised by academics, who pointed to his lack of the necessary diplomatic skills for interpreting medieval manuscripts, and also to his plagiarism of the work of others, notably Owen himself and Thomas Rowland (1824-1884). Williams became rector of Llanenddwyn and Llanddwywe, Merionethshire, in 1862, by which time he was very ill, and he died in the same year. The Ab Ithel Memorial Fund was established in his memory. Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history Some papers relating to Ab Ithel were added after his death in 1862, presumably by his family, and little more is known of what happened to the archive until A.

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.

    Druidic Myths and Freemasonry a Lecture by Andrew Prescott of the Centre for Research Into Freemasonry, University of Sheffield

    The Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism The University of Sheffield Druidic Myths and Freemasonry A Lecture by Andrew Prescott of the Centre for Research into Freemasonry, University of Sheffield. Presented at the Masonic Weekend organised by the Lodge Hope of Kurrachee No. 337 at the Kirkcaldy Masonic Hall, 4-6 May 2000. I have recently been appointed to the University of Sheffield as a Professor Associate to establish there a Centre for Research into Freemasonry, the first such centre established in a British university. In Europe there are a number of centres of this kind, and in both Europe and America freemasonry has long been accepted as an important area of scholarly inquiry. Despite the fact that freemasonry is of British origin, and is perhaps one of the cultural phenomena of British origin which has had the biggest international impact, professional scholars in Britain have only ever had a patchy interest in freemasonry, and the importance of its historical and cultural heritage in Britain has been largely neglected. Inevitably, the establishment of the new Centre at Sheffield has attracted some media interest. The other day, I received a call from a producer at Radio Wales which was organising a phone in on freemasonry, prompted by the debate in the National Assembly as to whether members of the assembly should be required to declare membership of the freemasons. I think the radio producer was hoping for some anti-masonic titbits, but I pointed out to her that freemasonry in Wales had a long and interesting history. The various Welsh masonic halls are full of items which have fascinating connections with Welsh history.
