Reviews

[Sims--Williamsa s] concern is to give due weight to all the possibilities rather than to rush into one attractive interpretation. This will make the book extremely valuable as a restraining influence on the rasher tendencies of other scholars. The Celtic Inscriptions of Britain is a major achievement in Celtic historical linguistics and will be an indispensible work of reference for many years to come. Antiquity <!----end----> (Celtic Inscriptions of Britain) represents an invaluable contribution to its field. Cumbrian Medieval Celtic Studies
