Mae eglwys Beuno yng Nghlynnog Fawr wedi dod yn amlwg fel safle pwysig iawn yn hanes llenyddiaeth y Gymraeg. Roedd yr eglwys yn gartref i gymuned grefyddol hynafol a sefydlwyd, yn ôl pob tebyg, gan Feuno yn y seithfed ganrif, ac fe barhaodd yn ganolfan dysgu amlwg a phwysig yn Oes y Tywysogion. Gallwn fod yn sicr fod y testun cyfareddol Buchedd Beuno wedi ei gyfansoddi yno. Ond y tu hwnt i hwnnw, ceir rhestr gynyddol o weithiau canoloesol pwysig gyda chysylltiadau â Chlynnog, gan gynnwys y gyfraith, barddoniaeth, achau, trioedd ac hyd yn oed Pedair Cainc y Mabinogi. Bwriad y gynhadledd hon yw dod â phawb sy’n gweithio ar y pwnc hwnnw at ei gilydd, ac amlygu arwyddocâd llenyddol Clynnog Fawr i gynulleidfa ehangach.

The old church of St Beuno at Clynnog Fawr has recently emerged as a major site of interest in the history of Welsh literature. The church was home to an ancient religious community, allegedly founded by the seventh-century saint Beuno, and it remained a prominent and important centre of learning in the Age of the Princes. We can be sure that the fascinating Life of Beuno was composed there. But beyond that, there is a growing list of important medieval works that have links to Clynnog, encompassing law, poetry, genealogy, triads and even the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. The intention of this symposium is to bring together those who have been working on this subject, and to highlight the literary significance of Clynnog Fawr for a wider audience.
Entrance and refreshment free, with the kind support of the Cathedral (suggested donation: £5)
There will be simultaneous translation for the papers given in Welsh
