This chapter takes three glossed texts emanating from early medieval Wales and considers the contribution the glossing makes to the educational utility of the texts. By a happy chance, texts have survived which arguably illustrate three distinct stages in the learning of Latin – from the early manipulation of Latin morphology and vocabulary-learning through the development of a familiarity with Latin verse to sophisticated annotation and commentary.
