As more light is obtained on the evolution of the language itself, so there comes new light on the history of the Dark Ages. One thing is clear by now.

TEILO (fl. 6th century), Celtic saint views of the writers. The earliest evidence we have of the cult of S. Teilo comes from the Gospel Book of S. Chad. (This manuscript, which was once at Llandaff, is now at Lichfield; the N.L.W. has a facsimile.) While it says nothing about him in person, the entries on the margins of its pages show that in the 9th century, some three hundred years after his death, he was still venerated in South Wales

In these, between 1930 and 1934, he entered quickly-maturing poems (a fifth 'Red' Notebook was kept for short
