T he editors are indebted to the help and encouragement of many people in the making of this book. We would like to thank the University of Wales Press and especially Llion Wigley and Sin Chapman for their support and patience throughout this project. We are grateful to our contributors for producing their chapters cheerfully despite the tight deadlines and strict word limit, and to all those who have participated in the Tabula Gratulatoria.

Our thanks to Dani Leiva for his evocative drawing of Byland Abbey which is on the front cover and which Dani drew specifically for this Festschrift. Byland Abbey holds a special place in Janets heart and in her research, making this a fitting tribute. We are indebted to William Marx, Our Man in Lampeter, for without his conspiratorial help and support this project would not have been possible. Throughout, William has provided us with the necessary names, facts and figures, and he moreover compiled the list of Janets publications no mean feat. We thank Paul Watkins for the photograph of Janet in the Founders Library. Paul managed to dupe Janet into posing for this picture: we commend his guile.

Finally, we would like to thank everybody who has helped to keep this project a secret from Janet, allowing us to surprise her with the presentation of this book.
