项目摘要

Humphrey Llwyd of Denbighshire (1527-68) ranks among the leading figures of the Welsh Renaissance. His maps and treatises on Welsh and British geography were admired and printed by the great Dutch atlas-maker Abraham Ortelius. Author of the first book on the history and topography of the entire island of Britain, Llwyd coined the fateful phrase "the British empire"; his work provided the cornerstone for an emerging vision of a unified, expansive, British state. His remarkable book collection still lies at the heart of one of Britain's central institutions, the British Library.In the decades after his death, Llwyd's literary influence in both England and Wales was remarkable. His vision of a unified Britain, in advance of the union of the crowns, influenced English writers including William Camden, Edmund Spenser, Michael Drayton, and John Dee. His distinctive map of Wales, Cambriae Typus, remained in print well into the eighteenth century. Providing the basis for David Powel's Historie of Cambria (1584), Llwyd's history of medieval Wales remained the standard version for over two hundred years. There is as yet no edition of Llwyd's collected works, and the majority of his writings have never been the subject of a scholarly edition. In this post-devolution and post-referendum era, when the identity of the British state and relationships among its constituent nations remain under urgent review, Llwyd's works can provide a unique insight into the origins of our present dilemmas. New approaches to Llwyd and his legacy will be greatly aided by a scholarly yet accessible edition of his writings and his maps. This project aims to use a new edition as a vehicle to resituate Llwyd and his vision of Britain within multiple national cultures. The project's foundation is the scholarly work required to produce that new edition. Although Llwyd's corpus is not immense (six works totalling c. 105,000 words, and two maps), it includes works in English, Latin and Welsh in both print and manuscript sources, and numerous printed variants of the maps; in addition to the tasks of transcription, collation, and translation, the editorial team will focus on furnishing Llwyd's works with the textual apparatus and commentary they require. The project aims further to generate scholarly work on Llwyd and his legacy through a symposium at the British Library and a volume of essays.The project also aims to reach a wider audience beyond the academy. It posits that Llwyd's vision, embodied above all in his maps, is potentially accessible and engaging for members of the British public, with further specific relevance and interest for inhabitants of Wales. The project's outputs will include publicly accessible and interactive digital versions of Llwyd's maps, housed on the website of the National Library of Wales, which already employs Cambriae Typus in its outreach and educational activities. Collaborating with the Education Centre at the NLW, the project will engage school pupils and other community organizations with Llwyd's vision of Wales, using his maps and texts as a springboard to imagine the shape of Wales in the present and future. A public exhibition accompanied by public lectures at the NLW will further assist in highlighting the relevance of Llwyd's works for the present day.The PI is a Renaissance literary scholar with an established record of work on Llwyd and his contemporaries; the two CIs have respective expertise in Welsh historiography and medieval/ early modern cartography (including digital approaches).The proposed PDRA 1, who will be responsible for the transcription, Welsh-English translation, and initial annotation of Llwyd's textual works, is an experienced scholar and editor of sixteenth-century Welsh texts. The proposed PDRA 2, with responsibility for GIS-based analysis of Llwyd's maps, is the recent recipient of a PhD in Geography with experience in the application of digital approaches to pre-modern maps.

登比郡的汉弗莱·路威德(1527-1568)是威尔士文艺复兴的领军人物之一。他关于威尔士和英国地理的地图和论文受到了伟大的荷兰地图集制作者亚伯拉罕·奥特利乌斯的钦佩和印刷。作为第一本关于不列颠全岛历史和地形的书的作者，llwyd创造了一个决定命运的短语：大英帝国；他的作品为一个统一的、幅员辽阔的不列颠国家的新兴愿景奠定了基础。他杰出的藏书仍然是英国中央机构之一大英图书馆的核心。在他去世后的几十年里，Llwyd在英格兰和威尔士的文学影响都是非凡的。在王室联合之前，他对统一英国的愿景影响了包括威廉·卡姆登、埃德蒙·斯宾塞、迈克尔·德雷顿和约翰·迪在内的英国作家。他独特的威尔士地图Cambriae typus一直保留到18世纪。作为大卫·鲍威尔的《寒武纪历史》(1584)的基础，Llwyd的中世纪威尔士历史在两百多年的时间里一直是标准版本。到目前为止，还没有Llwyd作品集的版本，他的大部分作品从未成为学术版的主题。在这个后权力下放和后公投时代，当英国国家的身份及其组成国家之间的关系仍然受到紧急审查时，Llwyd的作品可以为我们目前困境的起源提供一个独特的见解。对Llwyd和他的遗产的新方法将得到他的著作和地图的学术但可访问的版本的极大帮助。这个项目的目的是用一个新的版本作为一种媒介，在多民族文化中重振Llwyd和他对英国的愿景。该项目的基础是制作新版本所需的学术工作。虽然Llwyd的语料库并不庞大(六部作品总计约105,000字，以及两张地图)，但它包括英语、拉丁语和威尔士语的印刷和手稿来源的作品，以及地图的许多印刷变体；除了转录、校对和翻译任务外，编辑团队将专注于为Llwyd的作品提供所需的文本工具和注释。该项目旨在通过在大英图书馆举行的研讨会和一卷论文来进一步产生关于Llwyd及其遗产的学术研究成果。该项目还旨在接触到学院以外的更广泛的受众。它认为，Llwyd的愿景，首先体现在他的地图上，对英国公众来说可能是可接触和吸引人的，与威尔士居民有更具体的相关性和兴趣。该项目的成果将包括Llwyd地图的公开和互动数字版本，存放在威尔士国家图书馆的网站上，该图书馆已经在其外联和教育活动中使用Cambriae typus。与西北大学教育中心合作，该项目将使小学生和其他社区组织参与到Llwyd对威尔士的愿景中，以他的地图和文字为跳板，想象威尔士现在和未来的形状。在NLW举行的公开展览和公开讲座将进一步有助于突出Llwyd作品对当今的现实意义。PI是一位文艺复兴时期的文学学者，对Llwyd和他的同时代人有既定的工作记录；这两个CI在威尔士历史学和中世纪/早期现代地图学(包括数字方法)方面拥有各自的专长。拟议的PDRA 1将负责Llwyd文本的转录、威尔士英语翻译和初始注释，是一位经验丰富的学者和16世纪威尔士文本的编辑。拟议的PDRA 2负责Llwyd地图的基于地理信息系统的分析，是最近获得地理学博士学位的人，具有将数字方法应用于前现代地图的经验。
