From Preface:

This booklet has take place throughout the first John Legonna Celtic examine Prize, which was once provided to me by means of the nationwide Library of Wales, Aberystwyth in March 1986. John Legonna (1918–78) used to be a celtophile whose father used to be Cornish and his mom Welsh. He had a lifelong dedication to the advertising of the id of Wales and of all of the Celtic nations. In 1971 John Legonna made a present of his farm and lands at Pen Rhos Fach and ‘Chastell Cadwaladr’ at Llanrhystud close to Aberystwyth to the nationwide Library of Wales, with a purpose to determine the toilet Legonna Celtic learn Prize. This he meant to foster Celtic reviews and to let students offered it to pursue extra study inside of their selected box. The prize has enabled me to spend numerous weeks learning Celtic spiritual iconography in ecu museums and, for that reason, to jot down image and picture in Celtic non secular artwork. it's as a result that i've got committed this e-book to the reminiscence of John Legonna.

By the later first millennium BC the Celts had occupied a lot of Europe and had penetrated into Asia Minor, the place they settled in Galatia (Map 1). by means of the early first millennium advert a lot of this Celtic territory had fallen less than Roman domination. This e-book is essentially thinking about the pagan non secular iconography of the most Celtic heartland of Gaul among circa 500 BC and advert four hundred. unique reference is made to Britain yet, because the British fabric is comparatively good documented and has been the topic of a few fresh surveys, such a lot of my facts for the current paintings has been amassed from study in France, the Netherlands, and the Rhineland. nearly all of the iconography tested right here dates to the interval of Roman impression on Celtic lands. My hindrance this is no longer with Celtic faith as a complete yet with the contribution made via the divine pictures provided within the iconography to the translation of Celtic belief-systems. this can be of especial curiosity as a result of the conflation of the Roman and Celtic cultures to shape a particular Romano-Celtic culture of cult-expression. it's this custom which types the focal point of the current paintings.
