 | No 17: Acts of Parliament Concerning Wales 1714-1901 (ISBN 0-7083-0101-8 )
T. I. Jeffreys Jones
Out of print
`No-one would expect a transcription of the long titles of every Act of Parliament, whether public or private, that pertains exclusively to Wales or specially concerns Welsh people or places to be the kind of work which produces a thrill of excitement in the reader. But the serious student of a nations history, whether he be interested in the political, social, economic or religious aspects of that history, needs to have such a book at his side as he applies himself to his own particular subject or study. In this volume, the editor has placed all such students in his debt by supplying them with an exhaustive list of all such Acts covering a period of almost 200 years up to the beginning of this century. A separate section is provided for every major class of legislation, and all the Acts pertaining to that section are listed in chronological order. The result is an efficient and workmanlike book which will be of inestimable value to an increasing body of students...'(Province)

No 25: Brenhinedd y Saesson or The Kings of the Saxons (ISBN 0-900768-87-8 )
Thomas Jones
Out of print
The text, edited and translated in the present volume, with full critical apparatus, represents what is in large part a Welsh version of a late thirteenth-century Latin Chronicle no longer extant, but related to the Annales Cambriae and the Cronicade Wallia
`...apart from the actual information which it imparts, Brenhinedd y Saesson has a value in any broad estimate of Welsh historical writing in the mediaeval period. Scholars will remain, for all time, indebted to Professor Thomas Jones for another fine critical text, and the value of the translation will be readily acknowledged by all scholars. The introduction and the notes will again prove invaluable to historians, and those who would enquire further into questions of provenance and purport will find sure guidance in the carefully worded conclusions of a meticulous scholar...'

Giraldus Cambrensis. Edited by Yves Lefevre and R.B.C. Huygens.
English translation by Brian Dawson. General editor: Michael Richter.
Out of print
The Speculum Duorum is one of Giraldus' most intimate and personal works. This work offers a unique insight into his mind and working method, and throws this vivid, entertaining and fascinating man into sharp relief.
`It is good to see manuscript material made available generally to scholars in well-appointed editions that conform to the highest standards of modern editing and book production. The text of the Speculum Duorum is set out clearly with useful notes, references, and cross-references where such are needed by the reader. An introduction fills in the background to the work with a neat account of the manuscript, the career of Giraldus Cambrensis, the precise quarrel with his nephew that promoted the effusions of the Speculum, the legal background to the dispute, and up-to-date bibliographical material. The translation is racy, vigorous, and accurate . . . a valuable addition to our library of accessible medieval texts . . . ' (Antiquaries Journal)
