The Galatian Language-A Comprehensive Survey of the Language of the Ancient Celts in Greco-Roman Asia Minor

(University of Texas Press)

The Celtic language of Galatian is a unique example of a language that migrated into the heart of the Greco-Roman world during classical times and there survived for centuries. This study collects and analyzes for the first time the entire corpus of the Galatian language, using inscriptions, papyri and references in the Classical authors. The study also explores the linguistic viability of Galatian in ancient Asia Minor and the relation of Galatian to the Celtic languages of Western Europe.

"This book is the first-ever look at the language of the Celts who live in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) from the third century B.C. until Byzantine times. The fragments from inscriptions and a few references in the Greek and Roman authors show us that Galatian, even though it was in the middle of the Greek and Roman world, was a Celtic language related to Irish and Welsh. The Galatians were able to maintain their language for many centuries. Their story of language survival can be an inspiration to many modern speakers of minority languages which are currently threatened." - Freeman

"Éa flawless excursion in classical scholarshipÉ Freeman's work will be found not only on the reference shelf of every Classics department, but on the desk of every reader of the New Testament as well. His book will serve as an essential background source for Paul's Epistle to the Galatians." - Paul Berry, author of "The Christian Inscription at Pompeii"
