Explore the history, reach, and identity of the ancient Goidelic world through new linguistic and cultural insights.
This scholarly work examines how Goidelic-speaking communities spread across Europe and how language connects people, politics, and place. It weighs clues from tribes, place names, and historical records to trace contact between Britons, Picts, and Goidelic peoples, from the Danube to the Iberian fringe and beyond. The book also clarifies how the language test relates to race and community, not strict biological stock, shedding light on early Irish, Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic identities.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking study of the Pictish language, spoken by the enigmatic Picts who inhabited what is now Scotland for centuries. The author demonstrates that Pictish was not, as previously thought, a unique language isolate, but rather a Goidelic language closely related to Irish. This discovery has major implications for our understanding of the history and culture of the Picts and challenges long-held assumptions about the linguistic and ethnic makeup of ancient Britain. Exploring evidence from inscriptions, place names, and literary sources, the author provides a wealth of evidence to support their claims, shedding new light on one of the most fascinating and mysterious peoples of ancient Europe.
