Vita S. Samsonis

Life of Samson written at Dol. The Life has been variously dated to the end of the seventh century or at some stage during the eighth century.


The First Life of Samson is by far the earliest of all of the Lives of the Welsh saints, and apparently written with the lifetime of contemporaries of Samson. An abbreviated version is found in the Book of Llandaff.
