Pennod 41 - Maniffesto William Salesbury

Yr Hen Iaith

Trafodwn destun hynod gyffrous yn y bennod hon, sef rhagymadrodd William Salesbury i lyfr a gyhoeddwyd yn 1547, Oll Synnwyr Pen. Awgrymwn y gellid gweld y rhagymadrodd hwn fel maniffesto dyneiddiol Cymraeg, galwad sy’n cyflwyno agenda er mwyn diogelu a mireinio’r iaith. Defnyddiodd William Salesbury yr addysg a gafodd yn Rydychen a’i allu fel awdur i ddeffro darllenwyr a’u gwneud yn ymwybodol o’r angen: roedd yn rhaid sicrhau bod y Gymraeg yn iaith dysg, yn iaith y gallai drafod unrhyw agwedd ar gymdeithas a meddwl, yn gyfrwng a allai drosglwyddo unrhyw fath o wybodaeth. * * * We discuss an incredibly exciting text in this episode, namely William Salesbury’s introduction to a book published in 1547, Oll Synnwyr Pen. We suggest that this introduction can be seen as a Welsh humanist manifesto, a call which presents an agenda for safeguarding and perfecting the language. William Salesbury used his Oxford education and his skill as an author to wake up readers and make them aware of the need: they had to ensure that Welsh would be a language of learning, a language which could discuss any aspect of society and thought, a medium capable of transmitting any kind of knowledge.
