Description

Renowned in his own time as a wit and scholar, influential as a clergyman and diplomat, a friend of Gerald the Welshman and a guest of kings, Walter Map is now known chiefly as the author of the Courtier's Trifles, by turns credulous and shrewd, devout and ribald, combining gossip and folk history from the royal courts of Wales with romances and ghost stories from Europe and beyond.

In this edition from Cockatrice Books, M. R. James’s expurgated translation of the Latin is newly completed by J. R. de Boulton-Holland, providing the student of Welsh history with an important contemporary resource and the general reader with a rich and vivid medley of tales from the Middle Ages.
