This article focuses on three essays published on the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Immanuel Kant by the theologian and scholar, Lewis Edwards, in the Traethodydd between 1846 and 1853. Edwards is considered here as representative of the religious leaders of Wales in the second half of the nineteenth century. His work is examined for evidence of attitudes towards the philosophical developments of the period which could offer an explanation for his failure to defend Welsh language and culture in the face of the spread of English. The article argues that Edwards’ commitment to the speculative reasoning on which contemporary Calvinist theology was based prevented him from responding directly to the intellectual challenge represented by modern thought. In the three articles considered here, which present Kant’s thought as expressed in the first Critique, together with Coleridge’s philosophical theology as it is presented in his Aids to Reflection, we find clear evidence of Edwards’ unwillingness to accept any challenge to Calvinist philosophy. The picture he presents of the work of these two authors is defective and misleading. A major part of both Kant’s Kritik and Coleridge’s Aids is a destructive criticism of the baseless pretensions of speculative reason. Edwards chooses to ignore this entirely, so as to maintain his belief in the power of the human intellect to intuit truth without reference to empirical evidence. It is argued here that this wilful blindness to modern thought was an important factor in motivating the intellectual treason of which Edwards and his contemporaries stand accused. It is also suggested that this treason undermined not only Welsh language and literature, but also the Calvinist religion Edwards was determined to defend. In refusing to face the challenge of modern thought, Edwards left his students with no means of adapting traditional teaching to meet the requirements of a changing sensibility. The eventual result of that was a degree of alienation from the Nonconformist past, the effect of which continues even today

Mae'n addasiad (gan yr awdur ei hunan) o Gramadeg Hen Gymraeg, Alexander Falileyev, a gyhoeddwyd yn Rwsieg yn 2002, ac yn Ffrangeg yn 2008. Yn ogystal â throsi'r gwaith i'r Gymraeg, mae Dr Falileyev wedi'i addasu ar gyfer cynulleidfa Gymraeg, ac wedi ymgorffori ffrwyth yr ymchwil diweddaraf ar y testunau hyn (peth ohono eto i'w gyhoeddi). Mae hyn yn golygu y bydd o ddiddordeb i ysgolheigion profiadol yn ogystal â myfyrwyr a lleygwyr. Mae'n cynnwys disgrifiadau manwl o'r testunau hysbys, gyda llyfryddiaeth lawn, penodau ar ffonoleg, gramadeg a chystrawen yr iaith, a detholiad o destunau golygedig gyda nodiadau cynhwysfawr a geirfa. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn rhoi cyfle, am y tro cyntaf, i'r Cymry ddod i adnabod rhai o'r enghreifftiau cynharaf hysbys o destunau yn eu hiaith. Mae Dr Falileyev, yn enedigol o St Petersburg, Rwsia, yn arbenigydd ar yr ieithoedd Celtaidd. Mae wedi cyhoeddi'n helaeth ar enwau lleoedd a phersonol Celtaidd o Ewrop yn yr hen gyfnod, ac ar iaith a llenyddiaeth Cymru'r Oesoedd Canol Golygydd y Gyfres: Dr Simon Rodway, Prifysgol Aberystwyth.

Darlith Flynyddol y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol 2019: Teulu Wynniaid Gwedir, gan John Gwynfor Jones.

Sir John Prise (1501/2‒1555), of Brecon, was among the most influential servants of the Crown in Wales and the Marches at a time of great political and religious change. He was also one of the first among the Welsh to respond positively to some of the new cultural and intellectual emphases connected with the Renaissance. This article discusses the tension between, on the one hand, Prise’s learning and humanist outlook and, on the other hand, his attachment to the popular account of the history of Britain presented by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the twelfth century, an account that was largely rejected by the Italian Polydore Vergil in a work first published in the 1530s.

With the uncertainty of climate change, reconstructions from parameteorological and phenological records provide a strong basis for the analysis of past and present climate. However, very little research has been completed on the historical climate of Wales, which is variable throughout the country due to factors such as topography and atmospheric circulation. This is particularly so for west Wales, which has a diverse range of environments from the upland ‘green desert’ to the fertile coastal plains, where an extensive history may potentially be reconstructed from un-tapped documentary resources. The potential is immense as possible sources of meteorological information include all religious, official and personal documentation, which may provide an insight into the relationship between the Welsh and the weather.
