Celtic Correspondences: Letters from Whitley Stokes to Adolphe Pictet and from Henri d'Arbois de Jubainville to Ernst Windisch
When Johann Caspar Zeuss laid the foundations of modern Celtic Philology with his Grammatica Celtica (1853), he had at least three immediate forerunners: the English physician and anthropologist James Cowles Prichard (1786–1848) with his book The Eastern Origin of the Celtic Nations (1831), the Swiss specialist in ballistics and amateur linguist Adolphe Pictet (1799–1875) with his essay ‘De l’affinité des langues celtiques avec le sanscrit’ (1836…
Selected Letters
William Robertson Smith (1846-1894) is generally considered to be among the most important pioneers of Biblical Criticism, Social Anthropology and Comparative Religious Studies. This volume contains ca. 400 letters to his family, friends, and colleagues, spanning the period from his early student days in 1863 to his final illness in 1894 and covering a wide range of topics. Among the recipients of the letters are his parents, his siblings, his cl…

Celts: A History from Earliest Times to the Present
Other Religions
The chapter gives an overview of the ways in which nineteenth-century Christian thinkers approached ‘other’, non-Christian religions. On the one hand, it establishes characteristics that distinguish the period between the flowering of Romanticism and the outbreak of the First World War from the periods immediately preceding and following it. On the other hand, it shows the wide range of approaches during the period under consideration, focusing o…
Heidnisches und Christliches in einer altirischen Erzählung vom Irdischen Paradies
Geschichte und Kultur der Kelten
Mit Bernhard Maier resümiert ein international anerkannter Keltenforscher faktenreich, allgemeinverständlich und auf aktuellem Forschungsstand unser Wissen über keltische Ereignisgeschichte, Siedlungs- und Wirtschaftsformen, Kunst und Handwerk, Handel und Verkehr, Sozialstruktur, Religion, Sprache sowie über Beziehungen von keltischen und mediterranen Kulturen
Habent sua fata libelli: Thoughts on an early parody of Max Müller and other classics in comparative religious studies
Books that have become classics', Thomas Bailey Aldrich once noted, 'always remind me of venerable colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay.'1 1Aldrich 1903: 20-21. To some extent, some of the earliest classics in the comparative study of religions may be said to share this fate, being today more frequently referred or alluded to than studied in any detail. Nevertheless, the author ar…

The Celts: A History from Earliest Times to the Present
This history of the Celts from origins to the present draws on archaeological, historical, literary and linguistic evidence. It is divided into three parts. Part One covers the continental Celts in prehistory and antiquity, complete with accounts of the Celts in Germany, Italy, Iberia, and Asia Minor. The second part follows the Celts from the departure of the Romans to the late Middle Ages, including the migrations to and settlements in Ireland,…

The Early Celts of Ireland and Britain
The Celts in Northern Italy
This chapter traces the history of the Celts in northern Italy. It describes archaeological evidence showing the complex relationship of co-operation and cohabitation between the Celts, the Etruscans, the Liguri and the Veneti and their respective cultures. Of particular note is the so-called Golasecca culture in the northern Italian lakes region north of Milan. The bearers of this culture clearly exercised an intermediary function between the Me…
The Celts in Asia Minor
This chapter begins with a discussion of the history of the Galatians (as the Celtic inhabitants of Asia Minor are known in modern usage, as distinct from that of classical antiquity). It then discusses the Celtic linguistic heritage in Greek records and the Celts in classical art.
