This work, first published in 1944, provides the most reliable texts of the Lives of Welsh Saints based upon the Cotton MS in the British Library from 1200. Out of print for over 50 years, this work is still the standard edition of these Lives and is still widely used by scholars today. As well as being the major text for our information concerning the Welsh saints it also contains some of the earliest Arthurian material and is the first to make Arthur a king.
This New edition contains the following: Six Genealogical Tracts De Situ Brecheniauc (Concerning Brycheiniog) Cognacio Brychan (Family of Brychan) Ach Kynauc Sant (Pedigree of St. Cynog) Generatio St. Egweni (Descent of St. Eigion) Progenies Keredic (Progeny of Ceredig) Bonedd y Saint (Lineage of the Saints) Latin text and English translations of the Lives of: Brynach Beuno (Original text in Welsh, translation added for this edition) Cadog Carannog (two different versions) David (original text with translation added for this edition as an appendix) Gwynllyw Illtud Cybi Padarn Tatheus Gwenfrewi (Winefred)
