Vita Merlini , or The Life of Merlin , is a work by the Norman Welsh author Geoffrey of Monmouth , composed in Latin around AD 1150 . It retells incidents from the life of the Brython ic seer Merlin , and is based on traditional material about him. Merlin is described as a prophet in the text. There are a number of episodes in which he loses his mind and lives in the wilderness like a wild animal, like Nebuchadnezzar II Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel , or the Welsh people Welsh wild man of the woods. It is also the first work to describe the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay , as Morgen . Geoffrey had written of Merlin in his two previous works, the Geoffrey of Monmouth Other writings Prophetiae Merlini , purported to be a series of prophecies from the sage, and the The History of the Kings of Britain Historia Regum Britanniae , which is the first work presenting a link between Merlin and King Arthur . The Vita Merlini presents an account of Merlin much more faithful to the Welsh traditions about Myrddin Wyllt , the archetype behind Geoffrey s composite figure of Merlin. Whereas the Historia had Merlin associating with Arthur, his father Uther Pendragon , and his uncle Ambrosius Aurelianus Ambrosius in the 5th century, the Vita s timeframe is during the late 6th century, and includes references to various figures from that period, including Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio Gwenddoleu and Taliesin . Geoffrey attempts to synchronize the Vita with his earlier work by having Merlin mention he had been with Arthur long before.
