A groundbreaking work embodying the work of a team of researchers on a body of evidence of top relevance to Celtic studies, Early Christianity in Western Europe, and the post-Roman Dark Ages. A unique piece of primary research, presenting records of a poorly understood, but pivotal period in the Celtic West, texts that are otherwise little known. Many new and superior readings and interpretations are offered for the first time. The book’s core is a full catalogue of inscriptions on stone in Brittany and the Channel Islands datable to about AD 300 to AD 1200.

Full bilingual English and French in parallel columns, a masterpiece of bilingual design. Specialist and general indices and extensive bibliography. A4 page size (8-3/8 X 11-3/4). Full discussions of language, letter forms, and historical implications of the stones and inscribed texts. Numerous high-quality black and white photographs, drawings, and maps.Printed on coated high-opacity paper for maximum usefulness. Casebound hard cover. A very attractive volume and an excellent value.

The Inscriptions of Early Medieval Brittany is the first fruit of the Celtic Inscribed Stones collaborative research project based at University College London.
