Description

Rachel Bromwich's magisterial edition of Trioedd Ynys Prydein has long won its place as a classic of Celtic studies. This revised edition shows the author's continued mastery of the subject, including a new preface by Morfydd Owen, and will be essential reading for Celticists and for those interested in early British history and literature and in Arthurian studies.

The original edition ofTrioedd Ynys Prydein, which appeared in 1961, is the essential core of all the subsequent editions. In the second edition of 1978, a series of additions and revisions were added to the text at the end of the volume. In the third edition of 2006, these and subsequent additions and revisions to the volume were incorporated into the text rather than left at the end. A new triad (97) was added to the corpus and the orthography of the text of the triads amended to the original manuscript readings in the light of the critique published by Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson inWelsh History Review, Special Number (1963), 82–7. The Introduction, Textual Notes and Notes on Personal Names were revised and augmented. The fifth Appendix of the earlier versions, ‘North Welsh Genealogical Triads’, was omitted. An attempt was made to incorporate references to relevant works published before 2000, especially to the volumes of the two series,Beirdd y Tywysogion andBeirdd yr Uchelwyr, published by the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies to date, and were incorporated in the Notes. This reprint of Trioedd Ynys Prydeinremains largely unchanged from the edition of 2006. Some minor corrections have been added by Professor Dafydd Johnston. Dr Bromwich, who died in December 2010, had worked on the third edition for many years but was unable to supervise the preparation of the volume in its final stages. Close friends who were in contact with Dr Bromwich, however, were at hand to undertake the tasks necessary. They included Dr Dafydd Evans who did stalwart work in editing a hundred pages of notes, Dr Brynley F. Roberts, Professor Marged Haycock, Mr Gerald Morgan and Dr Iestyn Daniel. Mrs Susan Jenkins and Dr Dafydd Jones of the University of Wales Press went far beyond the call of duty in seeing the sometimes difficult manuscript through the press. Care was taken to comply with what were considered the intentions of Dr Bromwich, so that this volume in its entirety must be considered to be essentially her work. Dr Bromwich’s son Brian and his family have supported the whole enterprise. Finally, it has been my privilege to be on hand when need arose and to write the Preface:Disgybl wyf, hi a’m dysgawdd.
