Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

While scholars and enthusiasts alike know something of Arthur’s roots in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin History of the Kings of Britain , most are unaware that there was a Latin Arthurian tradition which extended well beyond Geoffrey. These Latin-literate scholars were as interested as their vernacular counterparts in the origins and stories of Britain's greatest heroes, and they made their own significant contributions to his myth.
