Giraldi Cambrensis Opera


Book Description

Despite a frustrated ecclesiastical career, Giraldus Cambrensis (Gerald of Wales, c.1146-1220/23) composed many literary works, including in volume 7 the lives of two sainted Bishops of Lincoln, Remigius and Hugh. The Latin texts, with an editorial preface in English, were published in the Rolls Series in 1877.
