- Summary
- "David Howlett presents from stones, mosaics, walls, brasses, inscribed artefacts, colophons, and autographs scores of compositions that illustrate a tradition of thought and a mode of composition observed in languages written in these islands for more than twenty centuries - Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Irish, Welsh, Norse, and French." "The author reveals in inscriptions an unbroken tradition that complements the tradition in both literary and diplomatic texts analysed in his earlier books published by the press."--BOOK JACKET.
