Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Daniel A. Binchy’s Corpus Iuris Hibernici, published in 1979, set the seal on a lifetime’s work which had made him the acknowledged leader in Celtic law studies. At an earlier stage in his career, he had edited (in Studies in Early Irish Law, published by the Royal Irish Academy in 1936) the proceedings of a seminar on the Irish law of women; this volume was the spur to the seminar which began to work under the aegis of the Board of Celtic Studies in 1970, and took as its first field of study the Welsh law of women. The present collection of papers, based on the work of the seminar, differs in scope from the Irish volume but like it provides a detailed and documented account of one of the most illuminating tractates in the Welsh lawbooks; the volume was originally presented to Professor Binchy in grateful recognition of the inspiration given to all students of Celtic law by his devoted work. This volume comprises six studies dealing with various aspects of the Welsh material, texts of three versions of the tractate (one in Latin and two, both based on manuscripts not previously printed, in Welsh) with English translations, a Glossary, and Indexes. This new edition includes a preface by Morfydd E. Owen, who edited the original volume with Dafydd Jenkins, surveying work in the field since the first edition in 1980.
Download or read book Law and the Imagination in Medieval Wales written by Robin Chapman Stacey and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Law and the Imagination in Medieval Wales, Robin Chapman Stacey explores the idea of law as a form of political fiction: a body of literature that blurs the lines generally drawn between the legal and literary genres. She argues that for jurists of thirteenth-century Wales, legal writing was an intensely imaginative genre, one acutely responsive to nationalist concerns and capable of reproducing them in sophisticated symbolic form. She identifies narrative devices and tropes running throughout successive revisions of legal texts that frame the body as an analogy for unity and for the court, that equate maleness with authority and just rule and femaleness with its opposite, and that employ descriptions of internal and external landscapes as metaphors for safety and peril, respectively. Historians disagree about the context in which the lawbooks of medieval Wales should be read and interpreted. Some accept the claim that they originated in a council called by the tenth-century king Hywel Dda, while others see them less as a repository of ancient custom than as the Welsh response to the general resurgence in law taking place in western Europe. Stacey builds on the latter approach to argue that whatever their origins, the lawbooks functioned in the thirteenth century as a critical venue for political commentary and debate on a wide range of subjects, including the threat posed to native independence and identity by the encroaching English; concerns about violence and disunity among the native Welsh; abusive behavior on the part of native officials; unwelcome changes in native practice concerning marriage, divorce, and inheritance; and fears about the increasing political and economic role of women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Laws of Wales: Viewed Especially in Regard to the Light They Throw Upon the Origin of Some English Institutions The present work was, at the time of the author's death in 1884, all but ready for the press. Pages 1-119 had been set in order for printing, and the rest of the Ms., though still needing arrangement, had apparently been written out in its final form. The duties of editorship have therefore been less onerous and responsible than might have been expected in the case of a work published posthumously. It has not been deemed right to make any alterations in the text of the work, save in respect of those slight inaccuracies of statement or irregularities of style which the author himself would certainly have set right had he lived to see his book through the press. In the matter of arrangement, on the other hand, a certain amount of independent judgment had to be exercised; the reader cannot, therefore, always feel certain that the various topics are being brought before him in the precise order the author had intended. Efforts have been made to verify all references, and this, it will be readily seen, has been no small part of the labour of editing. Beyond the work of revision, arrangement and verification, however, little has been undertaken; a few additional notes and references have been inserted, all distinguished from those of the author by square brackets. The chapter headings, the brief summaries attached to them, and the indices are also additions on the part of the editor. The book is an attempt to trace, in the local institutions of medieval and modern England, vestiges of a state of society similar to that described in the Welsh Laws.

Download or read book Welsh Planning Law and Practice written by Graham Walters and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welsh Planning Law and Practice provides a comprehensive guide to the sources and structure of Welsh planning law and a route through its complexity. This is not a comparative study, but rather deals with legislation and policy affecting land in Wales, placing them in the context of shared principles and concepts and the case law common to England and Wales. More than an academic exercise, planning is a practical matter affecting important aspects of daily life, and the desirability of public engagement in the planning process is well settled. This book contributes to the promotion of recognition of the body of Welsh planning law, to aid accessibility for all who practise in or who are (or want to be) involved in shaping development in Wales.
