Gramadegau’r penceirddiaid ‘The grammars of the chief poets’
- Early Modern Welsh, Middle Welsh
- prose
A group of vernacular Welsh bardic grammars whose production spans a long line of transmission, revision and adaptation. The earliest two recensions, from the 14th century and onwards, are associated with or attributed to Einion Offeiriad (fl. 13th century) and Dafydd Ddu (fl. 14th century). Later, more elaborate adaptations were produced by Gutun Owain and Simwnt Fychan. While influenced by the Latin grammatical tradition based on the likes of Donatus and Priscian, the grammars sought to apply concepts about the grammatical features of the vernacular to Welsh bardic poetry.
