Saint Beuno: Cult and Text. A Translation of the Middle Welsh Buchedd Beuno, with Introduction and Commentary

This publication presents the first Russian- language translation of the Buchedd Beuno — the hagiography of S. Beuno, one of the most venerated local saints of medieval Wales. The translation is accompanied by a detailed historical commentary and an introductory essay tracing the development of S. Beuno’s cult from its earliest attestations in written sources to its gradual decline in the Late Middle Ages. The introduction further examines the manuscript tradition and transmission of the Buchedd. The publication concludes with an overview of prior editions of the text.
