In their true form they are of extreme antiquity, coming probably from sources even older than the Ancient Britons, and such translations as do exist, buried in volumes long out of print, concern themselves with the less venerable triads. This is the first collated translation of the ancient "Wisdom" triads . from the earlies available Welsh sources' [wrapper blurb].
