5.0 out of 5 stars A note about `Mona Antiqua Restaurata', 29 Jan 2008
By Robert Williams "Publisher, Llyfrau Magma" (Isle of Anglesey, Wales / Ynys Môn, Cymru) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a facsimile reprint of the 1723 first edition of Henry Rowlands's book `Mona Antiqua Restaurata'.

Henry Rowlands (1655-1723) was born on Anglesey at Llanedwen and became rector of Llanidan Old Church. He wrote about farming practice in `Idea Agriculturæ' and in 1710 produced `Antiquitates Parochiales' about the ancient monuments of the locality. His best known work was `Mona Antiqua Restaurata' (1723) - literally `Ancient Anglesey restored' - in which he mistakenly linked the island's Bronze Age sites with the Druids, the priests and lawgivers of the ancient Celts. This fanciful anachronism, compounded by the English antiquarian William Stukeley, was seized upon in Victorian times and still persists today (...see the 2008 edition of the Isle of Anglesey County Council's tourism brochure!). However Rowlands does deserve credit for focussing attention on the island's ancient sites.

Limited edition. Page size 200mm wide x 258mm high; a total of 428 pages including all the illustrations, appendices and an index. The volume is handsomely casebound, with the title gold-blocked on a black leather spine label. The copies supplied by Llyfrau Magma are protected by a sturdy slipcase.

Also see within the Amazon listings, Llyfrau Magma's facsimile reissue of the 1775 A History of the Island of Anglesey: From Its First Invasion by the Romans, Until Finally Acceded to the Crown of England, described by its anonymous author as `A supplement to Rowlands's Mona Antiqua Restaurata'.
