Roberts, Brynley F., “Edward Lhwyd in Cornwall”, Studia Celtica 53 (2019): 133–152.  
abstract:

This article discusses Edward Lhwyd's visit to Cornwall in 1700, drawing on his correspondence to demonstrate the support he received from Cornish scholars and antiquarians, his itinerary and fieldwork methodology, his treatment of the Cornish language, and the manuscript materials available to him.

abstract:

Brynley Roberts analyses the texts of 9 Welsh versions or redactions of HRB ranging from the early 13th c. to the 16th c. Many of these are amalgams and most appear to have been associated in some way with the Cistercian abbey of Valle Crucis in N.-E. Wales. The texts represent a creative response to HRB in changing social and political circumstances over a long period in a particular area of Wales.

Brynley Roberts analyse le contenu de neuf traductions galloises de l’Historia Regum Britannie qui ont été composées entre le début du XIIIe et le xvie siècle. Nombre de ces « Bruts », émaillés de lectiones communes, sont à mettre en relation avec l’abbaye cistercienne de Valle Crucis (N.-E. du Pays-de-Galles). Ils attestent les réactions créatives suscitées par l’Historia au cours de plusieurs siècles de changements sociaux et politiques dans cette région.

abstract:

B. Roberts describes one of the three older versions of the Welsh Brut y Brenhinedd, found, among others, in the Llanstephan I manuscript (13th c.). In this version, the Lludd and Llevelys tale has been inserted. Its environment, the abbey of Valle Crucis, can be seen to have a measurable impact.

B. Roberts décrit l’une des trois versions anciennes du Brut y Brenhinedd gallois, conservée entre autres dans le manuscrit « Llanstephan I » (xiiie siècle). Dans cette version, où est interpolé le conte de Lludd et Llevelys, l’influence de l’abbaye de Valle Crucis est tangible.

abstract:
The second Keeper of Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, Edward Lhwyd was an important naturalist, archaeologist, and linguist. He published the first catalogue of English fossils, the Lithophilacii Britannici Ichnographia (1699), in a limited edition of 120 copies, and many of the specific fossils he illustrated survive still in Oxford’s collections. A keen naturalist, he assisted (among many others) John Ray with his botanical work. Perhaps Lhwyd’s greatest claim to scholarly significance, however, rests upon the extensive tours he made of the Celtic lands to continue his work as a naturalist and for the dual purposes of archaeological and linguistic survey. This resulted, on the one hand, in the most sophisticated archaeological work of the day; and on the other, in the first serious comparative study of the Welsh, Scots and Irish Gaelic, Cornish, and Breton languages. For this latter achievement Lhwyd is now regarded as the father of Celtic linguistics. His results were printed in Glossography (1707), the first volume of his projected Archaeologia Britannica, giving some account additional to what has hitherto been publish’d, of the languages, histories, and customs of the original inhabitants of Great Britain: from collections and observations in travels through Wales, Cornwal, Bas-Bretagne, Ireland and Scotland. This linguistic work, of course, must be associated with Lhwyd’s broader intellectual pursuits in Oxford, where he was not only Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, but also an active member of the Oxford Philosophical Society in its early years.

abstract:

Edward Lhuyd's (1660-1709) Archaeologia Britannica (Oxford 1707), was intended to be a study of early British history together with copies of some of the original source material. The only volume to appear, entitled Glossography, printed glossaries and grammars of the Celtic languages and lists of Irish and Welsh manuscripts, and it set out the principles of phonetic changes and correspondences so that linguistic and written evidence for the relationships of the first (Celtic) inhabitants of the British Isles could be evaluated. The antiquity of the evidence was of prime importance. Lhuyd sought the 'very ancient' written sources which would bridge the gap between the post-Roman inscriptions and the medieval Welsh manuscripts which he had seen. Humphrey Wanley (1672-1726), the Old English scholar, drew his attention to the Lichfield gospel book and two Latin manuscripts at the Bodleian Library which contained Welsh glosses and Lhuyd himself discovered the Cambridge Juvencus manuscript. These were the oldest forms of Welsh which he had seen. He analysed the palaeography, the orthography and vocabulary of these witnesses, and although he was not able fully to comprehend these records, he was able to begin to describe the characteristics of the British insular hand and to define some of the features which distinguished Old Welsh from Middle Welsh.
