In 2000, a sixteenth-century manuscript containing a copy of a
previously unknown play in Middle Cornish, probably composed in the
second half of the fifteenth century, was discovered among papers
bequeathed to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. This
eagerly awaited edition of the play, published in association with
the National Library of Wales, offers a conservatively edited text
with a facing-page translation, and a reproduction of the original
text at the foot of the page - vital for comparative purposes. Also
included are a complete vocabulary, detailed linguistic notes, and
a thorough introduction dealing with the language of the play, the
hagiographic background of the St Kea material and the origins of
other parts in the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth. The theme of the
play is the contention between St Kea, patron of Kea parish in
Cornwall, and Teudar, a local tyrant. This is combined with a long
section dealing with the dispute over tribute payments between King
Arthur and the Emperor Lucius Hiberius; Queen Guinevere's adultery
with Arthur's nephew Modred; the latter's invitation to Cheldric
and his Saxon hordes to come to Britain to assist him in his
conflict with his uncle; and Arthur's battle with Modred. Winner of
the 2008 Holyer An Gof Award for Cornish language publications.
