‘The edition and translation of the poems will undoubtedly be standard for years to come … There is a vast amount of knowledge which can be gained about literacy, cultural and historical matters of the period in these poems. The team is to be congratulated in making this difficult material so accessible.’ (Studia Celtica)

‘The importance of the Beirdd y Tywysogion project for medieval Welsh studies cannot be overemphasised … Gwaith Llywelyn Fardd is an excellent contribution to the series and its six editors are to be warmly congratulated on their collective achievement … ’ (Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie)
