Description
A new edition of an invaluable collection of literary sources, all in translation, for Celtic Europe and early Ireland and Wales. The selections are divided into three sections: the first is classical authors on the ancient celts-a huge selection including both the well-known-Herodotos, Plato, Aristotle, Livy, Diogenes Laertius, and Cicero-and the obscure-Pseudo-Scymnus, Lampridius, Vopsicus, Clement of Alexandria and Ptolemy I. The second is early Irish and Hiberno-Latin sources including early Irish dynastic poetry and numerous tales from the Ulster cycle and the third consists of Brittonic sources, mostly Welsh.

I used this book in a course on Celtic mythology and literature and found it to be an easy read. It included key works that were interesting and well translated. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Celtic history from the beginner to the more advanced scholar.

No Celtic Studies library is complete without it! Something to refer to time and again. Every time I open it, I find something new - and remarkably useful. Many thanks to John Koch and John Carey for creating this fantastic sourcebook.
