St. David's: With Map (Classic Reprint)

A map accompanies a historical study tracing the foundation and growth of the see of St. David’s. This edition presents a thorough, archival-style look at how the diocese developed from its monastic origins to a later organizational structure, with attention to priors, bishops, and regional boundaries.
