The Welsh Law of Women
Professor Daniel A. Binchy’s Corpus Iuris Hibernici, published in 1979, set the seal on a lifetime’s work which had made him the acknowledged leader in Celtic law studies. At an earlier stage in his career, he had edited (in Studies in Early Irish Law, published by the Royal Irish Academy in 1936) the proceedings of a seminar on the Irish law of women; this volume was the spur to the seminar which began to work under the aegis of the Board of Celtic Studies in 1970, and took as its first field of study the Welsh law of women. The present collection of papers, based on the work of the seminar, differs in scope from the Irish volume but like it provides a detailed and documented account of...
The Welsh King and His Court
A series of 24 papers, collected from a conference on Welsh law held at Greynog in 1993, which focus on the organisation and function of the itinerant medieval Welsh court and the ways in which governmental offices developed from household positions.
Lawyers and Laymen
This collection of studies and edited texts is being offered to Professor Dafydd Jenkins as an appreciation of his contribution to the study of legal history and especially of Welsh medieval law.

The first part is concerned with a principal area of Welsh medieval law, Suretyship. The second contains studies on a wider variety of topics including Welsh, English, and European legal history.
Writing Welsh History
Writing Welsh History is the first book to explore how the history of Wales and the Welsh has been written over the past fifteen hundred years. By analysing and contextualizing a wide range of historical writing, from Gildas in the sixth century to recent global approaches, it opens new perspectives both on the history of Wales and on understandings of Wales and the Welsh - and thus on the use of the past to articulate national and other identities. The study's broad chronological scope serves to highlight important continuities in interpretations of Welsh history. One enduring preoccupation is Wales's place in Britain. Down to the twentieth century it was widely held that the Welsh were an ...
Trioedd Ynys Prydein
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.
