About This Item
Cambridge; (1988): Cambridge University Press. Octavo. 346 pages, index, bibliography. The author's research shows there is evidence of early stages of the Indo-European languages than previously thought. There was no 'coming of the Celts' but rather a parallel development of the Celtic-speaking peoples in much the same areas in which they are found today. A fine copy bound in black cloth, spine lettering gilt, in fine pictorial dust jacket.
