First edition of the De Excidio Britanniae by the 6th century Welsh monk Saint Gildas. Edited by Edited by Polydore Vergil and R. Ridley. Polydore Vergil (1470? - 1555?) edited Gildas' work during the course of his research for his own Anglicae Historiae.De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain) is a sermon in three parts condemning the acts of Gildas’ contemporaries, both secular and religious, whom he blames for the dire state of affairs in sub-Roman Britain. It is one of the most important sources for the history of Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries, as it is the only significant source for the period written by a near contemporary of the people and events described. Part I contains a narrative of British history from the Roman conquest to Gildas’ time; it includes references to Ambrosius Aurelianus and the Britons’ victory against the Saxons at the Battle of Mons Badonicus. Part II is a condemnation of five kings for their various sins, including relatively well-documented ones such as Maelgwn Gwynedd. Part III is an attack upon the British clergy of the age.See The Library, IV (1979), pp. 355-60: ' With end of preface dated April 1525. There appear to be several variants of this title, this being the second variant with the title bearing the words 'PRETER .. Ep?orum' rather than 'PRFTER ... Ep?orum'.
