- W659125105 abstract "When Abraham Ortelius published the first modern atlas in the late sixteenth century he included maps of 'the Celts' as part of his overall coverage of Europe. He justified such inclusions by appealing to the first principle of historical maps: historiae oculus geographia (geography is history's eye). That process, begun over 400 years ago, could be said to have come to perfection here: the first scholarly (there have been many popular atlases devoted to 'Celtic' this or that) and scientific (i.e. careful distribution maps set on accurately drawn maps) atlas for Celtic studies. So this publication is an important event not only for Celtic studies but also in the evolution of the historical atlas. Between Ortelius and Koch much has happened, however, and it is all reflected in some way here. The most important development has been in comparative philology, allowing us to see relationships between languages whose speakers, now or in the past, we would not recognise as related. The notion of 'Celtic' as used in scholarship is, indeed, primarily linguistic: there is a subset of the Indo European languages exhibiting specific affinities that distinguish them from other language groups. Because languages are distributed over territories by those who use them, they become intellectual objects amenable to distribution mapping. The notion of a linguistic atlas is a well-developed one?and Koch's atlas owes much to such works?but here the linguistic research is integrated with other areas in ways not found in language/dialect mapping. A related specialisation is the study of the linguistic shape and origin of placenames: onomastics. This is the second development that has affected our understanding of the distribution of an ancient people with strong cultural ties: a language may be shared by many cultural groups, but when one finds non-topographic placename elements over a wide area one has a shared culture. 'Lugano', 'Lyons' and 'Lughnasa' seem very different names today, yet they are but variants on the name of a deity, 'Lugh', known across north-western Europe. Placename evidence cries out for mapping, not simply to note the distributions but to see how a spread of names may relate to routes linking places. The third development is archaeology: the spade's" @default.
