This manuscript, entitled "Welsh Court Poems", is the first of ten projected volumes in the new "Library of Medieval Welsh Literature" series, under the general editorship of Dr Nerys Ann Jones (University of Edinburgh) and Prof. Erich Poppe (University of Marburg). The aim of the series is to make Middle Welsh literature available to English-speaking scholars and students who wish to study it in the original language. In keeping with this aim, "Welsh Court Poems" makes the poetry of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries available for the first time to this readership. "Welsh Court Poems" presents 33 of the 236 poems published by the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies. The poems are in the original Middle Welsh but all the scholarly apparatus is in English, thus giving a point of entry to this poetry for English-speaking scholars and students - not only those interested in Middle Welsh poetry itself, but also those researching comparative literature in other languages (particularly Irish bardic poetry), other periods of Welsh literature, and history. The volume contains a bibliography, an introduction, the text of 33 poems, extensive notes and a full vocabulary.
