Book condition : very good. - Study on Layamon or Laghamon, occasionally written Lawman - was a Welsh poet of the late 12th/early 13th century and author of the Brut, a notable work that was the first to present the legends of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in English poetry. Later J.R.R. Tolkien valued him as a transmitter of early English legends in a fashion comparable to the role played with respect to Icelandic legend by Snorri Sturluson. Print-era editors and cataloguers have spelled his name in various ways, including Layamon, Lazamon, or Lawman. Brown University suggests that the form Layamon is etymologically incorrect; the Fifth International Conference on La?amon's Brut at Brown University stated, BL MS Cotton Caligula A.ix spells it 'La?amon' (the third letter is called a yogh)
