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.

Essays - collected in honour of Margaret Bent - examining how
medieval and Renaissance composers responded to the tradition in
which they worked through a process of citation of and commentary
on earlier authors. Essays in honour of Margaret Bent. The chapters
of this book probe the varied functions of citation and allusion in
medieval and renaissance musical culture. At its most fundamental
level musical culture relied on shared models for musical practice,
used by singers and composers as they learned their craft. Several
contributors to this volume investigate general models, which often
drew on earlier musical works, internalized in the process of
composers' own training as singers. In written theoretical musical
pedagogy, conversely, citation of authority is deliberate and
intentional. The adaptation of accepted wisdom in theoretical
treatises was the means by which newer authors stamped their own
authority. Further kinds of citation occur in specific musical
texts, either within the words set to music or in the music itself.
The diverse functions of citation and allusion for the creator,
reader, scribe, performer and listener are here given due
consideration. In doing so, this volume is a fitting tribute to
Margaret Bent, whose pedagogy, publications, and presence are
honoured in this Festschrift. Contributors: SUSAN RANKIN, GILLES
