@caitlinrgreen@EarlyScotland true & Oliver Padel’s work is class. Dating that Welsh material is so difficult though -
@PeritiaEditors@EarlyScotland It really is great, def inspiring! On dating, agreed tho I still think Koch's *linguistic* work worth noting> -
@PeritiaEditors@EarlyScotland >rejection by Padel et al of his Gododdin focused primarily on textual history aspects, not linguistics iirc> -
@caitlinrgreen@EarlyScotland recently Patrick Sims-Williams gave a great paper where (he cautiously) reaffirmed an early Gododdin -
@PeritiaEditors@EarlyScotland Oh, that's good to know--spent so much time on other stuff recently I missed that! Where was that? I do > -
@PeritiaEditors@EarlyScotland > wonder if worth comparing Gododdin+Beowulf, which has similarly seen controversy over dating (I'd favour > -
@caitlinrgreen@EarlyScotland it was the Bergin lecture in@ucddublin a few months back. Great talk looking at dating of Welsh material

@PeritiaEditors@EarlyScotland > but it's still worth noting! Fwiw, I find it fascinating how ppl so keen to 'find' a 'historical Arthur' &> -
