Features selections, together with an introduction, notes, and glossary, from a thirteenth century Welsh text which belongs to the genre of medieval translations. This work provides insights into the heroic Christian mentality and world view of its audiences.

This volume provides edited selections, together with an introduction, notes, and glossary, from the lengthy and entertaining thirteenth-century Welsh epic, Ystorya Bown o Hamtwn. A hugely popular tale, Ystorya Bown is drawn from the Anglo-Norman epic Geste de Boeve de Haumtone (which was itself translated not only into Welsh, but also Middle English, Old Norse, and Early Modern Irish), and it relays a story of heroic Christian fortitude that offers contemporary readers fascinating insights into its cultural transmission and the worldview of its audiences.
