Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The publication of Cronica Walliae in 2002 provided for the first
time ever a printed text of a scholarly work found in manuscripts
of the sixteenth century. Its author, the antiquary Humphrey Llwyd,
born in Denbigh about 1527, graduated at Oxford University and
entered the service of the earl of Arundel. He twice served as a
Member of Parliament and, as member for Denbigh in 1569, is
accredited with facilitating the passage of the bill for
translating the Bible and Book of Common Prayer into Welsh. He died
in Denbigh in 1568, and his monument stands in the parish church of
Llanfachrell. Cronica Walliae is Humphrey Llwyd's most substantial
work and is based upon the medieval Welsh chronicle Brut y
Tywysogyon, a narrative of the kings and princes of Wales from the
death of Cadwaladr Fendigaid to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. It was used
by David Powel in his preparation of his Historie of Cambria
(1584), and its study today makes possible a better appreciation of
the contribution of two scholars who, between them, laid the
foundations for modern Welsh historical writing on the medieval
period. No manuscript survived in Llwyd's own handwriting, and the
present edition is based upon NLW Llanstephan 177, with variant
readings from BL Cotton Caligula Avi.
