Summary:

This research study offers new theories of interpretation and analysis of the Gaelic sources dealing with the peopling of the Europe's Atlantic frontiers by the Celts [Kelts]. Important scholarly work is achieved in discussions of Celtic origins, linguistic development, cultural ethos, religion and history. The theoretical intersection of linguistics, anthropology and history is supplemented by a close reading of the ancient Gaelic sources contained in The Leabhar Gabhala.
