Historiae Britannicae Defensio / A Defence of the British History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780888441959)

"The present work brings John Prise's Historiae Britannicae Defensio back into print for the first time since 1573, when an edition was published by the author's son, Richard Prise. The 1573 printing forms the copy-text, critically edited in the light of the one surviving manuscript (Oxford, Balliol College, MS 260) of a version which is very close to it. The facing English translation is the first published translation of the Defensio. The work is accompanied by an extensive introduction and elucidatory notes."--Preliminary page.
