Synopsis
This book explores ancient inscriptions from Gaulish coins and monuments, a subject seldom delved into, to shed light on Celtic languages and culture. The inscriptions are analyzed within the context of Celtic studies, particularly the relationship between Gaulish and its two modern descendants Irish and Welsh. The author argues that these inscriptions, mainly dedications and votive offerings, provide valuable linguistic data for understanding the diversity and nature of Gaulish dialects. Drawing on linguistic evidence, the author demonstrates that while Gaulish may have shared similarities with both Irish and Welsh, the hypothesis of a sharp distinction between a 'Goidelic' and a 'Brythonic' branch within Gaul is not supported by the evidence. Ultimately, this book deepens our knowledge of Celtic linguistics and history, offering new insights into the complexities of language evolution and shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Gauls.
