THE LAW OF HYWEL DDA: LAW TEXTS FROM MEDIEVAL WALES (WELSH CLASSICS VOL. 2)
Published by Gomer Press. 1990
Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. Compensation of the victim was more important than punishment of the offender as a principle of medieval Welsh law... According to tradition, all the varying laws were brought together by Hywel ap Cadell, 'Hywel Dda' or Hywel the Good, who became king over nearly all Wales in 942. Here is a lucid and accurate translation that pays tribute to the original authorship and to the intrinsic literary quality of lawyers' prose. Cream cloth boards, brown title to spine.
Second impression with minor changes. Spine and corners slightly bumped. Top edge of textblock ever so slightly dusty otherwise contents fine. Dustwrapper is just a little grubby and faded to spine.
