THE LAW OF HYWEL DDA: LAW TEXTS FROM MEDIEVAL WALES (WELSH CLASSICS VOL. 2)
Published by Gomer Press. 2000
Very good condition in a 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.
Third impression. Text block slightly grubby. A few minor top corner creases to contents. Yellow pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased.
