A BIBLIOGRAPHY OP 
[giraldus 
absurd and fanciful, they are nevertheless in some cases 
based upon personal observation, and are hence of con- 
siderable interest. In 1188, after the King had joined the 
New Crusade, Giraldus accompanied Archbishop Baldwin into 
Wales to preach that cause. Later he retired to Lincoln, and 
remained there until the death, in 1198, of the Bishop of St. 
David’s, when he was elected to the See ; but his Welsh blood 
and his many enemies caused trouble, and his election was 
annulled both in England and at Rome. The closing years 
of his life were spent in retirement, and the exact date of 
his death — as of his birth — is uncertain. 
The best collected edition of Giraldus’ s works is that in 
the Rolls Series, in 8 vols. 8vo, 1861-91, edited by Brewer, 
Dimock and others. They are some twenty-two in number, 
and mostly of a theological nature ; but the two under- 
mentioned come within the scope of our work. 
1187. The Topography of Ireland ; its Miracles and Wonders. By Sil- 
vester Giraldus Cambrensis. MS. 
Apparently first “ printed with 4 Holinshed’s Chronicles,’ 1587, 
folio ; sometimes found separate ” (Lowndes). (Or 1577, accord- 
ing to Anderson.) It occurs also in Camden’s Anglica, Hiber - 
nica, Normcmnica, Cambrica, a veteribus scripta. Francof., 1602 
[and 1603], folio. (In Brit. Mus. Libr.) 
Birds are dealt with in chapters vii.-xviii. 
1207. The Itinerary of Bishop Baldwin through Wales. MS. 
This appears to have been first printed by Edmund Bollifant, 
London, 1585, 1 vol. 12mo ; the best known edition is that of 
Sir B. C. Hoare : 
1806. The | Itinerary | of | Archbishop Baldwin | through Wales | a.d. 
mclxxxviii. | By | Giraldus de Barri ; | Translated into English, 
and illustrated with views, | annotations, and a life of Giraldus, 
| by | Sir Bichard Colt Hoare, Bart. | F.B.S., F.A.S. | Volume

Idem. An edition in Latin “ Itinerarium Cambrise,” etc., 
edited by Sir B. C. Hoare. 4to. London : 1804. 
In this “ Itinerary ” Giraldus describes certain Falcons and 
the Golden Oriole (cf. Forrest, The Vertebrate Fauna of North 
Wales, p. xx v). 
An edition of both the above was published in Bohn’s “ Anti- 
quarian Library,” 1847 (and later issues). Another edition has 
lately (1908) appeared in “ Everyman’s Library.”
