Book excerpt: The Welsh saints have highly patterned lives - structured according to traditional expectations.

This material is organized according to stages of the saints' lives and categories of their activity. The volume also includes a complete motif index and an index of traditions associated with the individual saints. ELISSA R. HENKEN/currently teaches both folklore and Celtic literaure at the University of Georgia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new expanded edition of a classic and widely-used academic text, first published in 1944, provides the Latin texts of the lives of the Welsh saints found in Cotton Vespasian A. xiv. from the British Library dated to c.1200. As well as being the major source for Welsh hagiography, the book also contains Arthurian material that predates the publication of Geoffrey of Monmouth's influential Historia Regum Britanniae in 1138. The second edition includes additional material in the way of: a new introduction to draw attention to the scholarship published on these Welsh saints over the last 60 years * a translation and detailed commentary on the Life of St. Beuno (Buchedd Beuno) by A.W. Wade-Evans, not included in the original edition, and also his English translation of the Life of St. David * an important review of the original publication by Thomas Jones. The lives of eleven saints are included in their original language with a facing page English translation (Brynach, Beuno, Cadog, Carannog, David, Gwynllyw, Illtud, Cybi, Padarn, Tatheus, and Winifred). Additionally, the book offers six genealogical tracts that provide even more biographical information from medieval Welsh tradition. The book is completed by an index of proper names, and the original pagination has been retained to make referencing easier. (Series: Studies in Medieval Wales)
Download or read book The Celts 2 volumes written by John T. Koch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 1358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This succinct, accessible two-volume set covers all aspects of Celtic historical life, from prehistory to the present day. The study of Celtic history has a wide international appeal, but unfortunately many of the available books on the subject are out-of-date, narrowly specialized, or contain incorrect information. Online information on the Celts is similarly unreliable. This two-volume set provides a well-written, up-to-date, and densely informative reference on Celtic history that is ideal for high school or college-aged students as well as general readers. The Celts: History, Life, and Culture uses a cross-disciplinary approach to explore all facets of this ancient society. The book introduces the archaeology, art history, folklore, history, linguistics, literature, music, and mythology of the Celts and examines the global influence of their legacy. Written entirely by acknowledged experts, the content is accessible without being simplistic. Unlike other texts in the field, The Celts: History, Life, and Culture celebrates all of the cultures associated with Celtic languages at all periods, providing for a richer and more comprehensive examination of the topic.

Download or read book The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions Volume I written by John Coffey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume I traces the emergence of Anglophone Protestant Dissent in the post-Reformation era between the Act of Uniformity (1559) and the Act of Toleration (1689). It reassesses the relationship between establishment and Dissent, emphasising that Presbyterians and Congregationalists were serious contenders in the struggle for religious hegemony. Under Elizabeth I and the early Stuarts, separatists were few in number, and Dissent was largely contained within the Church of England, as nonconformists sought to reform the national Church from within. During the English Revolution (1640-60), Puritan reformers seized control of the state but splintered into rival factions with competing programmes of ecclesiastical reform. Only after the Restoration, following the ejection of two thousand Puritan clergy from the Church, did most Puritans become Dissenters, often with great reluctance. Dissent was not the inevitable terminus of Puritanism, but the contingent and unintended consequence of the Puritan drive for further reformation. The story of Dissent is thus bound up with the contest for the established Church, not simply a heroic tale of persecuted minorities contending for religious toleration. Nevertheless, in the half century after 1640, religious pluralism became a fact of English life, as denominations formed and toleration was widely advocated. The volume explores how Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and Quakers began to forge distinct identities as the four major denominational traditions of English Dissent. It tracks the proliferation of Anglophone Protestant Dissent beyond England—in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Dutch Republic, New England, Pennsylvania, and the Caribbean. And it presents the latest research on the culture of Dissenting congregations, including their relations with the parish, their worship, preaching, gender relations, and lay experience.
