Edward 'Celtic' Davies, this, his most important work, examines the origins of the Celtic language and the meaning of Celtic mythology. Influential in his time and later, Davies' works are now viewed as wildly inaccurate and speculative; not fluent in the languages he sought to translate between, he utilised unreliable sources and guesswork in his attempts to align Celtic myth with Biblical history. Romantic poet William Blake took a keen interest in Davies' publications.
