Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book assembles descriptions and illustrations of all the early inscribed and sculptured stones scattered throughout the Principality of Wales. For thirty-five years, the author has searched for these relics, investigating their paleographical and ornamental peculiarities. His interest began with a desire to discover how many of them, which tradition connected with the early British Church, agreed with the styles employed in and corroborated the dates given to the earliest religious manuscripts known to have been executed in these countries. The author's examination of the manuscripts of Ireland published in his Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria had proved them to be of Celtic rather than Teutonic origin. Sharon Turners Vindication of the Genuineness of the Ancient British Poems, published in the Appendix to his History of the Anglo-Saxons, had further incited his curiosity in the same direction. The establishment of the Cambrian Archaeological Association and the commencement of the Archaeologia Cambrensis in 1846 afforded greater facilities of research than could otherwise have been maintained. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
