Corpus Inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum. Vol. 1

The earliest writing in Ireland is in the form of ogham inscriptions, carved along the edges of numerous stones found throughout the country, with a strong concentration in the south-west. This Corpus contains the texts of all the ogham inscriptions then known in Ireland and Britain (with the exception of the Scottish Pictish material). Professor Macalister's compendium of Celtic ogham script represents one of the most valuable works of Celtic scholarship this century
