Lewis, whose complete history was first published in 1729, over a century after its author's death, by the antiquary Hugh Thomas, perhaps using the text still extant in Harleian MS 4872 in the British Library. Like earlier Welsh historians, for instance Humphrey Llwyd (whose Breviary of Britayne is appended to the 1729 edition of Lewis's book), Lewis was reluctant to part with the much-criticized legends of ancient British kings, from Brutus the Trojan to King Arthur, as recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First and Rarest of All Editions, 1584, the First Work to Claim that the Welsh Discovered America.

Early nineteenth century full brown calf, re-spined, old laid down, morocco spine label, text with only minor browning and occasional damp staining, hinges strengthened, speckled text block edges. Bookplate (Richard Myddlelton Biddulph), & book label (Abel E Berland) to fpd (188*138 mm). (ESTC S121940. Sabin 40914. Luborsky & Ingram. Engl. illustrated books, 1536-1603, 4606). This work was the first to attribute the original discovery of America to the Welsh in the 12th century and contains two very early references to King Arthur, including a description of the discovery of the bones of King Arthur and his queen. The first and rarest of all the editions (Sabin 40914) of this famous history of Wales and Welsh royalty from the 7th to 13th centuries and the Princes of Wales of the blood royall of England from Edward 1 to Elizabeth. Caradoc of Llancarfan, as 12th century Welsh ecclesiastic, and historian, was a friend of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who at the conclusion of his famous 'British History' [one of the earliest and most important sources for the legends of King Arthur]. says: 'The princes who afterwards ruled in Wales I committed to Caradog of Llancarvan, for he was my contemporary. And to him I gave the materials to write that book'. Caradog's chief work [Brut y Tywysogion] was a sort of continuation of Geoffrey's fictions from the beginning of really historical times down to his own day. In its original form Caradog's chronicle is not now extant (DNB). The work was translated into English in the 16th C by Humphrey Llwyd but remained in manuscript. David Powell, a Welsh historian, was requested by Sir Henry Sidney, lord president of Wales, to prepare for the press an English translation. The work appeared, under the title 'The History of Cambria,' in 1584, with a curiously admonitory dedication to Sir Philip Sidney, the president's son; though Llwyd's translation was the basis, Powell's corrections and additions, founded as they were on independent research, made the 'Historie' practically a new work. and later historians of Wales have to a large extent drawn their material from it (DNB XVI>238). This work also contains two very early references to King Arthur. The first reference on p13 is a note about the creation of Glastonbury monastery on the Isle of Avalon by Ivor in the 7th century. The second and more dramatic reference occurs on page 238, describing the discovery in 1179 of the bones of King Arthur and Guinevere.…

Rare first edition of Llwyd's geographical and historical description of Ancient Britain prefixed by his farewell letter to the cartographer Abraham Ortelius dated from Denbigh 30 August 1568, ending with a short Welsh vocabulary. An English translation by Thomas Twyne, 'The Breuiary of Britayne,' was published in the following year. "in August 1568, the Welsh scholar Humphrey Lloyd of Demby lay dying. Writing for the last time to his friend Abraham Ortelius in Antwerp, he reported that 'a very perilous fever hath so torn this body of mine these ten continual days that I [have been] brought to despair of my life.' Along with the letter Llwyd enclosed a pair of maps, one of Wales and one of England and Wales, destined for inclusion in Ortelius's atlas. Llwyd further enclosed 'certain fragments written with mine own hand which (if God had spared me life) you should have received in better order, These 'fragments' belonged to an unfinished topographical description of Britain, more than half of which was devoted to the history and description of Wales Humphrey Llwyd was among the most gifted and provocative scholars of his generation. As MP for Denbigh he was instrumental in the passage of legislation for the translation of the Bible and Book of Common Prayer into the Welsh language. Llwyd's work left a lasting mark on the literatures of both England and Wales. It is unlikely that Camden's great work would have taken quite the same form or even borne the same title without the prior example and influence of the Breviary" Philip Schwyzer 'The breviary of Britain'. Introduction. "[Llwyd] wrote the Commentarioli Britannicae descriptionis fragmentum, a short historical and geographical description of Britain. . It was the first attempt to compile a chorographia of Britain as a whole. Central themes of Llwyd's work are his defence of Geoffrey of Monmouth (particularly countering the attacks of Polydore Vergil), and his belief in the integrity of the early British church." DNB. Llwyd's important work is bound here with the first edition of another most interesting geographical work by Marcin Kromer on Poland. "Polish diplomat, bishop of of Warmia, historian, and polemicist on behalf of the counter Reformation. Was born in Biecz and served as secretary to Archbishop Piotr Gamrat When working in the Royal Chancellery he ordered and listed the most important royal archives in Cracow. . Kromer was active in political and diplomatic life (numerous legations) He was one of the most important figures in the Polish Counter Reformation . . His major work, intended for foreign readership is his history of Poland from legendary times to 1506 De Origine et rebus gestis Polonorum. In addition to De origine, he contributed a geographical and political description of Poland: Polonia (1577)." D.R. Woolf 'A Global Encyclopedia of Historical Writing.' The work is full of interesting details on the politics of early Poland: " 1) Shaaber, L335. Libri Walliae no. 3313. 2) BM STC Ger. C16th. p.478.…
