Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Physicians of Myddfai"("Meddygon Myddvai" in Welsh), or "The medical practice of the celebrated Rhiwallon and his sons, of Myddfai, in Carmarthenshire, physicians to Rhys Gryg, lord of Dynevor and Ystrad Towy," was written about the middle of the 13th century. The collection of herbal remedies are associated with Rhiwallon Feddyg (eldest son of the Lady of the Lake), founder of a medical dynasty that lasted over 500 years and comes from the manuscript called the "Red Book of Hergest," a large vellum manuscript written in Welsh shortly after 1382. The manuscript derives its name from the colour of its leather binding and from its association with Hergest Court between the late 15th and early 17th century. The Physicians of Myddfai practised in the village of Myddfai near the market town of Llandovery in Wales, healing subjects with their herb lore and potions as well as their mystical powers and insight into the human condition.

Book excerpt: About the Book This is the first new and unexpurgated translation of Meddygon Myddfai, The Physicians of Myddfai, for over 150 years. The original mediaeval manuscripts are unique, being written in Middle Welsh, whereas across England and the rest of Europe, Latin was the universal language for documents. Nicholas Culpeper's famous 17th century medical handbooks are at least five hundred years later than the genesis of the works of the Myddfai mediciners. Around 1000 Welsh remedies and suggestions for a healthy life make fascinating reading, with many being useful today. The evocative Legend of the Lady of the Lake (Llyn y Fan Fach) is included. This tale is the starting point for the line of practising Myddfai physicians from being court mediciners to Prince Rhys Gryg (d.1234) until the present day. Not only has the herbal and healing tradition carried on for around 800 years, but the places named in the legend can still be seen, and many of the plant cures have uses in modern medicine. About the Author Terry Breverton has written over forty books, with his main focus being upon Welsh history, heritage and culture. A former businessman, consultant and academic, he has worked all over the world, has given talks about Wales in Boston, Washington, Vancouver and elsewhere, and has appeared in several documentaries. He believes that books, whether in print or electronic form, have to be entertaining and informative, and hopes that this is the case with The Physicians of Myddfai.

Download or read book The Physicians of Myddfai written by Harold Selcon and published by . This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating 21st century account of Myddfai and a family of Welsh physicians who, according to mythology, had acquired their skills magically. The mythical elements go back into prehistory but the Physicians of Myddfai were real doctors who chose to write their own medical textbook in Welsh at a time when Latin was the established language of learning. Their book acknowledging Greek, Roman and Arab medical literature shows the breadth of culture in Wales at this time. Their words were preserved in Welsh manuscripts together with tales of magic and romance and might have died with them but centuries later were translated into English by a titled Englishwoman, Lady Charlotte Guest. This brought Welsh medieval culture to a wider English audience including Tennyson and her translation of the Mabinogion was an inspiration and source for his Idylls of the Kings. Another of the contributors to the record of the Physician's work was Iolo Morganwg, whose many contributions to Welsh culture were denigrated by some scholars in the 20th century as forgery. As he is the man who gave to Wales its cultural highlight, the National Eisteddfod he cannot be ignored so he too is considered in some detail in a separate chapter.This book goes much further than a mere retelling of ancient medical skills and remedies but details the status and regulation of doctors or mediciners first laid down in the 10th century Laws of Hywel Dda and the ongoing mayhem in Wales - the infighting between the Welsh Princes and the battles for Welsh independence against the Norman and English kings. It also considers the nature of the therapeutic properties of the herbal medicines used by the Physicians as revealed by modern analysis and pays a tribute to the community spirit of present day Myddfai , stiill strong and welcoming although at present (in 2018) without even one resident NHS physician!
