All aspects of the cult of St David, patron saint of Wales, are
examined in this wide-ranging volume. The cult of St David has been
an enduring symbol of Welsh identity across more than a millennium.
This volume, published to commemorate the fourteenth centenary of
the death of the saint, traces the evidence for the cult of St
David through archaeological, historical, hagiographical,
liturgical, and toponymic evidence, and considers the role of the
cult and church of St David in the history of Welsh society,
politics, and landscape. The collection includesa new edition and
translation of the Life of St David by Rhygyfarch, based on the
text in British Library Ms. Cotton Vespasian A.xiv, as well as new
evidence concerning the relics of the saint enshrined in St Davids
Cathedral. J. WYN EVANS is the Dean of St Davids Cathedral.
JONATHAN M. WOODING is Director of the Centre for the Study of
Religion in Celtic Societies at University of Wales Lampeter.
