Gaulish Inscriptions: Their interpretation in the light of archaeological evidence and their value as a source of linguistic and sociological information

A survey of Gaulish inscriptions from a content-orientated point of view, starting from simple one word inscriptions and progressing to longer and more complex texts. Thus funeral and votive inscriptions, texts of private, intimate character, invocations and magical texts are reviewed; their structure, content and pertinent vocabulary emerge more clearly by means of this comparative approach.
