The project was conceived by the late Richard Sharpe several years ago, and started on 1 April 2020. Sadly, Richard did not live to see the project realized. His expertise and encyclopaedic knowledge has been much missed and rarely a day goes by without us wondering what Richard would think about our solution to a particular crux. This volume is dedicated to his memory.  \nIn these difficult circumstances the History Faculty in Oxford, and in particular Julia Smith and John Watts, provided muchneeded support to allow us to take the project forward. Needless to say, our gratitude to those who offered us help is far more than conventional. We have been ably supported by our advisers, Robert Bartlett, Marie Therese Flanagan, and Huw Pryce, who have read and commented on everything in this volume with admirable clarity and dispatch, and rescued us from numerous errors and confusions. We have also drawn on the specific expertise of others: Gruffudd Antur, Julia Barrow, Charlene Eska, Shaun McGuinness, Tessa Webber, and Carolinne White have helped us greatly by providing specific points of information or responding to particular queries. We have made much use of Catherine Rooney’s work on the manuscripts of Gerald’s works and have benefitted enormously from her willingness to answer queries. We have also benefitted from the kindness of Fiona Edmonds, whose expertise in map-making is evident on many pages. We should also gratefully acknowledge the enthusiastic hospitality provided by Wyn Evans, former Bishop of St Davids, on our visit there in the spring of 2022.  \nWhile much of the earlier stages of this work was carried out under lockdown using digital images, we are grateful to the staff of the manuscripts room in the British Library, where the only complete manuscript of De gestis is housed, for fac","cbCaicboe8zUGCim","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicboe8zUGCim","pdf",35859032,7,1,422,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## List of Maps and Genealogical Tables\n## Abbreviations\n## Introduction\n## Gerald’s Name\n## The Title\n## The Manuscript\n## De gestis Giraldi among Gerald’s Works\n## Gerald on Gerald\n## The Historical Context of De gestis Giraldi\n## The Archdeaconry of Brycheiniog\n## Studium and Public Life\n## Episcopal Elections, Metropolitan Status, Proceedings in Rome\n## Gerald as a Writer: His Latin Style, Citations, and Sources\n## Previous Editions\n## Editorial Method\n## List of Dates\n# Main Text\n## Gerald of Wales, On the Deeds of Gerald (De gestis Giraldi)\n## Table of Contents\n## Preface\n## Part One\n## Part Two\n## Part Three\n# Appendices\n## The Forms of Welsh Names in De gestis\n## Gerald and the Districts of Wales\n## Early-Modern Notes on De gestis\n## A Note on Laudabiliter (De gestis, ii. 11)","[{\"question\":\"What work does this volume provide an edited and translated text for?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an edited and translated version of Gerald of Wales’ On the Deeds of Gerald (De gestis Giraldi).\"},{\"question\":\"What major introductory topics are covered before the main text?\",\"answer\":\"The introduction includes sections on Gerald’s name and title, the manuscript tradition, the work’s place among Gerald’s writings, historical context, Latin style and sources, previous editions, and the editorial method.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of supplemental material are included after the three main parts?\",\"answer\":\"The volume includes appendices such as the forms of Welsh names in De gestis, Gerald’s relation to districts of Wales, early-modern notes on De gestis (including specific note traditions), and a note on Laudabiliter.\"}]","Gerald of Wales -
