Gwerz Skolan (original) (raw)
"Gwerz Skolan" is a gwerz with a long tradition in Lower Brittany, especially Léon-Trégor and Cornouaille. Its story is found in Old Welsh texts also, and the oldest extant Welsh version is found in the 13th-century Black Book of Carmarthen. The poem is cited as evidence for the preservation in Brittany of cultural memories and traditions predating the entrance of Bretons into Brittany. The gwerz was performed in Brittany until the 19th century, with some late examples from the 20th century. Its content (though many versions differ in their details) describes a man who had died after living a life of rape and murder, and now comes back from hell to ask for forgiveness.

(en) Skolvan est une gwerz de Basse-Bretagne, principalement chantée dans le Léon-Trégor et en Haute-Cornouaille. Elle a pour thème la rédemption de Iannik Skolvan, assassin d'un prêtre, incendiaire d'églises et tortionnaire de ses sœurs. Skolvan demande pardon à sa mère pour les péchés commis. Cette gwerz présente des similitudes avec le poème gallois , inclus dans le livre noir de Carmarthen et attribué à Myrddin. Elle est restée de tradition orale en Bretagne jusqu'au XIXe siècle, date à laquelle est elle collectée par Théodore Hersart de la Villemarqué ou François-Marie Luzel. Il existe une vingtaine de versions connues, plus ou moins christianisées. (fr) |
