A Middle Welsh translation of <i>Flores dietarum</i>
The article deals with a medieval medical Welsh text, consisting of two parts, Y Pedwar Gwlybwr (The Four Humours) and Rhinweddau Bwydydd (Virtues of Foods). It is found in several manuscripts, the versions in Oxford Rawlinson MS. B 467, Cardiff MS. 3.242 (Hafod 16) and Oxford Jesus College MS. 22 are discussed. A Latin source is proposed, a tract Flores dietarum, composed in Salerno in the 2 <sup>nd</sup> half of the 12 <sup>th</sup> c. The Welsh text follows its Latin original closely and allows studying techniques of translation in medieval Wales. While the existence of Salernitan texts in the Welsh medical tradition has been already demonstrated earlier, this text is another witness of Wales being a part of intellectual life of Europe in the 14 <sup>th</sup> century.
