Addasiad angyhoeddiedig mewn Cymraeg Canol o hanes Lladin Sieffre o Fynwy yw Liber Coronacionis Britanorum ('Llyfr Coroni'r Brythoniaid') sy'n canolbwyntio ar olyniaeth brenhinoedd a breninesau Prydain o Brutus lawr i Wrtheyrn, Arthur, a Chadwaladr. Golygwyd y testun gan Patrick Sims-Williams o lawysgrif o tua'r flwyddyn 1500, lle mae lluniau — am y tro cyntaf yng Nghymru — yn cyd-fynd â'r naratif. Cynhwysir pob un o'r 59 llun lliw yn eu lleoedd priodol, a defnyddir naw copi anghyflawn, un ohonynt gan un o gefnogwyr Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (m. 1282), i lenwi bylchau yn y testun. Diolch i'r golygiad hwn, bydd darllenwyr modern yn gallu mwynhau'r gwaith hwn a'i luniau unigryw am y tro cyntaf.

“The text might well be regarded as the Cinderella of the Brutiau, being perhaps the longest Middle Welsh text that has remained unpublished.” — Medium Aevum

“It is one of only two Welsh manuscripts to contain a planned series of miniatures to illustrate the text and the only one of the two containing a vernacular text... This groundbreaking publication firmly establishes the Liber Coronacionis Britanorum as a distinct version of Brut y Brenhinedd, as well as making accessible an important but too-often neglected manuscript” — Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie

book cover

Liber Coronacionis Britanorum ('The Book of the Crowning of the Britons') is a Middle Welsh adaptation of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain. In this companion to his edition Patrick Sims-Williams investigates its relationship to Geoffrey's Latin original and the other medieval Welsh translations, providing a full explanatory commentary and a study of its language. The cover picture (from National Library of Wales, MS Peniarth 23, fol. 61r) shows the boy Myrddin (Merlin) advising King Gwrtheyrn (Vortigern) about the buried dragons.

Yn Welsh Genealogies A.D. 1500-1600 (WG 3) y mae Dr Michael Siddons yn parhau â'r achau yn y cyfresi enwog gan Dr Peter Bartrum — Welsh Genealogies 300-1400 (WG 1) a Welsh Genealogies 1400-1500 (WG 2) — lawr i tua 1600, gan gynnwys llawer o bobl a anwyd yn y 1600au cynnar, ac y mae'n ychwanegu tua dau gant o deuluoedd newydd. Llanwodd WG 2 ddeunaw cyfrol fawr, a byddai WG 3 hyd yn oed yn hwy, pes cyhoeddid fel llyfr. Felly rhennir WG 3 rhwng y gyfrol argraffedig a disg yng nghefn y llyfr, gyda'r disgwyl y bydd y ddau'n cael eu defnyddio ochr yn ochr.

The interests of Hector Munro Chadwick (1870-1947) branched out from Classical and Indo-European philology into pioneering interdisciplinary studies on archaeology, anthropology, numismatics, onomastics, history and comparative literature. His north-west European research extended from Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England into Celtic Britain and Ireland, and ultimately encompassed world literature in The Growth of Literature (1932-40), written jointly with Nora Kershaw Chadwick, a work which inspired writers as diverse as Maurice Bowra, Gerard Murphy and Máirtín Ó Cadhain. H. M. Chadwick and the Study of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic in Cambridge is a comprehensive study of Chadwick's work and an assessment of its lasting value, with specialist contributions by Michael Lapidge, Richard Dance, Margaret Clunies Ross, Simon Keynes, Rory Naismith, Oliver Padel, Patrick Sims-Williams, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh & Fiona Edmonds. Through fifty years of teaching in Cambridge, from 1895 to 1945, Chadwick inspired many generations of students, including E. C. Quiggin, Bertha Phillpotts, Bruce Dickins, J. M. de Navarro, Cyril Fox, Dorothy Whitelock, Hugh Hencken, Kenneth Jackson, Peter Hunter Blair, Glyn Daniel, Terence Powell, Rachel Bromwich and Mary Boyce. Many of them looked back on the years they spent with him “as the most valuable and formative years of their life” (Q. D. Leavis). Some of their reminiscences are included here, while Isabel Henderson describes her relations with Nora Chadwick between 1955 and 1967 and Michael Lapidge, in a 100-page contribution, takes the history of the ASNaC Department down to 1999, including photographs of the most significant figures.

Dates have been proposed for many medieval Welsh texts, from the 'Gododdin' to the 'Mabinogion', but few have gained general acceptance. Simon Rodway reconsiders the methodological problems, and discusses the role of linguistic evidence, in particular the evolution of the verbal system. He analyses a comprehensive collection of verbal forms from Middle Welsh poems by poets securely dated to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and compares a complete collection of forms from the earliest surviving medieval Welsh prose manuscripts. On this basis he proposes approximate dates for a number of developments in Middle Welsh, providing a secure framework for the dating of anonymous texts. His study is an invaluable resource for medieval Welsh literary studies and will be an essential work of reference in Celtic historical linguistics. It will also appeal to scholars grappling with comparable problems in other medieval literatures, including the differences between the language of poetry and the language of prose. Read more >

“His competent and sensible treatment will become required reading, and further profits from instructive sidelights on related problems of the dating of medieval Irish texts, which evince Rodway's impressive command of Irish philology and literary studies” — Journal of Celtic Linguistics

book cover

This volume introduces a wide range of readers to an historically and sociologically interesting selection of 814 Latin inscriptions, from most parts of Europe, edited and translated in full for the first time. The inscriptions, mostly of the first to third centuries A.D., shed a varied light on the everyday life of the 'ancient Celts' as they came under Roman rule. They come from sites ranging from Portugal to Bulgaria and from Scotland to northern Italy.

In this second volume Raybould & Sims- Williams complete their Corpus of Latin Inscriptions of the Roman Empire containing Celtic Personal Names with a final collection of texts and translations. They also list and analyse the Celtic names found in both volumes and map their geographical spread, from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. The illustration on the front cover shows part of a second-century tombstone in the museum at Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge, Austria (no. PAN 113 in this Supplement). Nertomarus and his wife Toutomara erected it to commemorate themselves. His name Nertomarus is from Celtic nerto- 'strength' and maros 'great' (compare medieval Irish nertmar and Welsh nerthfawr 'strong'), while Touto- mara combines touto- 'people, land' (Irish tuath, Welsh tud) with the feminine mara 'great'.
