Insular Inscriptions
Overview
In this book David Howlett presents from stones, mosaics, walls, brasses, inscribed artefacts, colophons, and autographs scores of compositions from twenty centuries, illustrating the thoughts of inhabitants of these islands in ten languages -- Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin, Welsh, Irish, English, Norse, and French. The inscriptions are identical in form and structure with compositions both literary and diplomatic analysed by the author in a series of books from Four Courts Press, but survive, unlike texts in manuscript copies, in their original states, offering direct access to a tradition of thought among Insular writers from the Roman period to the 1960s.
