This second volume of \u003cem\u003eMagies de la Bretagne\u003c\/em\u003e, published by Robert Laffont and presented by François Lacassin, brings together monumental works that have been inaccessible for fifty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this collection so invaluable is its role as a guardian of memory: without Le Braz, the popular songs of Lower Brittany, Celtic theatre, mysteries like \u003cem\u003eCognomerus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSainte Tréfine\u003c\/em\u003e would have disappeared, \"destined for fragile survival due to the absence of printed support\".
