- From the Welsh of The Llyfr Coch O Hergest

Bag om The Mabinogion

Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. THE Arthurian Legends have at all times furnished a congenial subject to the students of Romance; and in the eight-and-thirty years which have elapsed since the first part of this Translation appeared, my 'Mabinogion' have found their way into the hands of the learned both among ourselves and on the Continent. More recently, however, the publication of the 'Idyls of the King'--and among them of 'Enid, ' which is founded on my version of 'Geraint'--has interested a much wider circle of readers in the Legends, and there has arisen a demand for a new and more popular edition of my work, which it is the object of the present issue to supply. It will be found to differ from its predecessor in the omission of the Welsh text, of all Welsh quotations in the Notes, and of the French Metrical Romance of the 'Chevalier au Lion.' The notices relating to the corresponding versions of the Tales in other European languages have also been condensed. It is, then, under these altered conditions, and in the absence of all means of comparison on their part, that I ask my new readers to believe that I have striven to preserve in Saxon English the primitive simplicity of the Welsh original. To these remarks it only remains for me to add, that the text of the Mabinogion exists in the Llyfr Coch o Hergest (or Red Book of Hergest) preserved in the Library of Jesus College, Oxford THEOPHANIA PUBLISHING A Marillion Imprint WWW .
