‘This is a new and unexpurgated translation of Meddygon Myddfai (The Physicians of Myddfai), now translated from the original Middle Welsh of the 12th to 15th centures. The evocative Legend of the Lady of the Lake (Llyn y Fan Fach) is included. This tale is the starting point for the line of practising Myddfai physicians from being court mediciners to Prince Rhys Gryg (d. 1234) until the present day… excellent’. ‘A facsimile of the Victorian translation of this early 13th/14th century Welsh medical manuscript has been the most widely available edition until now. This new book takes the facsimile as its template, complete with both later material and the myth…  The author has met all the right people in the field, and in the process points up to the lack of work done on this interesting subject. He expands, clarifies and corrects the text, and his enthusiasm for the subject brings in wide-ranging references.
