The volume contains a series of papers delivered at the University of Bonn on the occasion of an international symposium entitled -150 Years of the Mabinogion: German-Welsh Cultural Relations-, which took place there on 26--29 May 1999. Of the 20 articles, some concentrate on those medieval Welsh narratives known since Lady Charlotte Guest's translation (completed 1849) as the -Mabinogion-, while others address the history of German-Welsh relations as reflected in literature, art and music on the one hand and the scholarly study of Celtic literature on the other."
