Synopsis

This book examines the Celtic inscriptions of Gaul, an area now commonly known as France, before the Roman conquest. It catalogues new findings and re-examines previously discovered inscriptions in an effort to enhance our knowledge of the Celtic languages during this period. The author notes that many of the inscriptions are epitaphs and offer insight into Celtic naming conventions and religious beliefs, as well as possible relationships among individuals. Furthermore, the author provides linguistic analysis of the inscriptions, extracting what is known of Celtic grammar and vocabulary from the evidence they provide. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Celtic languages and history.
