Review Quotes: Sara Elin Roberts is one of the foremost living scholars of medieval Welsh law and those who study medieval Wales owe her a debt of gratitude for producing this book. It provides an invaluable source of reference for those who need a reliable guide to the otherwise bewildering series of manuscripts... and gives non-specialist readers a better sense of what Welsh law actually represented.-- "ARCHAEOLOGIA CAMBRENSIS"
