Despite a frustrated ecclesiastical career - his ongoing failure to
secure the See of St David's embittered him - Giraldus Cambrensis
(Gerald of Wales, Gerald de Barry, c.1146-1220/23) composed many
remarkable literary works, initially while employed as a royal
clerk for Henry II and, subsequently, in semi-retirement in
Lincoln. Eight volumes of his works were compiled as part of the
Rolls Series of British medieval material. Noted for his vigorous
Latin and anecdotal style, Giraldus gives a vivid portrait of
medieval Britain - he revived the ethnographic monograph, lapsed
since antiquity - and of the intrigues of the Angevin court. Volume
5, edited by clergyman and historian James F. Dimock (1810-76) and
published in 1867, contains Giraldus' treatises on Ireland, his
earliest works. The Latin text provides an outstanding contemporary
source, while the English editorial preface illuminates
nineteenth-century interest in the period.
