Download or read book Celtic from the West 3 written by John T. Koch and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celtic languages and groups called Keltoi (i.e. ‘Celts’) emerge into our written records at the pre-Roman Iron Age. The impetus for this book is to explore from the perspectives of three disciplines—archaeology, genetics, and linguistics—the background in later European prehistory to these developments. There is a traditional scenario, according to which, Celtic speech and the associated group identity came in to being during the Early Iron Age in the north Alpine zone and then rapidly spread across central and western Europe. This idea of ‘Celtogenesis’ remains deeply entrenched in scholarly and popular thought. But it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile with recent discoveries pointing towards origins in the deeper past. It should no longer be taken for granted that Atlantic Europe during the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC were pre-Celtic or even pre-Indo-European. The explorations in Celtic from the West 3 are drawn together in this spirit, continuing two earlier volumes in the influential series.

Download or read book Blood of the Celts The New Ancestral Story written by Jean Manco and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From prehistory to the present day, an unrivaled look deep into the contentious origins of the Celts Blood of the Celts brings together genetic, archaeological, and linguistic evidence to address the often-debated question: who were the Celts? What peoples or cultural identities should that term describe? And did they in fact inhabit the British Isles before the Romans arrived? Author Jean Manco challenges existing accounts of the origins of the Celts, providing a new analysis that draws on the latest discoveries as well as ancient history. In a novel approach, the book opens with a discussion of early medieval Irish and British texts, allowing the Celts to speak in their own words and voices. It then traces their story back in time into prehistory to their deepest origins and their ancestors, before bringing the narrative forward to the present day. Each chapter also has a useful summary in bullet points to aid the reader and highlight the key facts in the story.

Download or read book Celtic Art in Europe written by Christopher Gosden and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Celtic world evokes debate, discussion, romanticism and mythicism. On the one hand it represents a specialist area of archaeological interest, on the other, it has a wide general appeal. The Celtic world is accessible through archaeology, history, linguistics and art history. Of these disciplines, art history offers the most direct message to a wider audience. This volume of 37 papers brings together a truly international group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies. It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to understand Celtic art and argue for novel approaches in discussions spanning the whole of Continental Europe and the British Isles. This new body of international scholarship will give the reader a sense of the richness of the material and current debates. Artefacts of rich form and decoration, which we might call art, provide a most sensitive set of indicators of key areas of past societies, their power, politics and transformations. With its broad geographical scope, this volume offers a timely opportunity to re-assess contacts, context, transmission and meaning in Celtic art for understanding the development of European cultures, identities and economies in pre- and proto-history. Nominated for Current Archaeology Book of the Year 2016.

Download or read book Tartessian written by John T. Koch and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Aegean, some of the earliest written records of Europe come from the south-west, what is now southern Portugal and south-west Spain. Herodotus, the 'Father of History', locates the Keltoi or 'Celts' in this region, as neighbours of the Kunetes of the Algarve. He calls the latter the 'westernmost people of Europe'. However, modern scholars have been disinclined - until recently - to consider the possibility that the south-western inscriptions and other early linguistic evidence from the kingdom of Tartessos were Celtic. This book shows how much of this material closely resembles the attested Celtic languages: Celtiberian (spoken in east-central Spain) and Gaulish, as well as the longer surviving langiages of Ireland, Britain and Brittany. In many cases, the 85 Tartessian inscriptions of the period c. 750-c. 450 BC can now be read as complete statements written in an Ancient Celtic language.

Download or read book Intorno al Papiro di Artemidoro written by Claudio Gallazzi and published by LED Edizioni Universitarie. This book was released on 2009 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nel 2008 si è tenuto a Pisa il primo di una serie di convegni progettati dagli editori dell'editio princeps del Papiro di Artemidoro. Al convegno sono intervenuti specialisti di papirologia, filosofia antica, filologia e linguistica per discutere del contesto culturale, in cui il papiro è stato prodotto, e delle cinque colonne di testo che esso conserva. Questo volume di Atti raccoglie quindi contributi che mettono a confronto il rotolo con altri reperti e ne propongono pure un'interpretazione diversa da quella fornita nell'editio princeps, che discutono le idee espresse nei passi serbati e le collocano nel quadro più ampio delle scuole filosofiche attive in età ellenistica; che si soffermano su lingua, ortografia e stile del testo, analizzano la tradizione testuale di Artemidoro ed illustrano i rapporti intercorrenti fra la descrizione della Penisola Iberica leggibile sul papiro e quella data da Strabone. Conclude il volume un'appendice, che fa il punto sui nodi cruciali del dibattito sviluppatosi in questi mesi, confutando le opinioni espresse contro la genuinità del papiro ed avanzando nuove ipotesi sulla ricostruzione del rotolo e sulle varie fasi della sua esistenza.
