An Atlas for Celtic Studies: Archaeology and Names in Ancient Europe and Early Medieval Ireland, Britain and Brittany

by John T. Koch, in collaboration with Raimund Karl, Antone Minard and Simon O'Faolain

An Atlas for Celtic Studies is a unique and comprehensive reference book that presents a huge amount of information on what is known about the Celts in Europe in the form of detailed maps. It combines thousands of Celtic place- and group names, as well as Celtic inscriptions and other mappable linguistic evidence. Moving away from a narrative story of the Celts, the aim of this ground-breaking publication is to empower the reader with a wide range of evidence, lucidly presented, to show the geographic relationship of Celtic-language and non-linguistic cultural evidence, allowing individual interpretation. The Atlas has 64 large format pages of colour maps alongside pages of explanatory text, theoretical discussion, map details, bibliography, and index. This will be an essential work for anyone studying the Celts. 224p, 64p of full col maps (Celtic Studies Publications XII, Oxbow Books and Celtic Studies Publications 2007)

Review Quotes

"One of the most useful books on Celtic Studies ever published; every Celticist in the world should have a copy...the benefits of using it will be immense. Linguists, historians and archaeologists should press ahead to obtain copies with all possible speed."

Andrew Breeze

"The reach of the atlas is extremely inclusive and wide-ranging... should serve to demystify many crude misunderstandings."

Dónall Ó Fionnáin
Tipperary Historical Journal (2008)

"Let us salute the work accomplished and the underlying concern to go back to the sources."

Olivier Buchsenschutz
