Product Description

Synopsis
Cummings tackles the task of interpreting the symbol stones and explores their use to reconstruct history and society. Using the Irish Ogham stones, Hiberno-Saxon inscriptions and both archaeological and historical clues, he weaves many strands of Pictish and Celtic history into this linguistic detective story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent analysis of 1000 year old mystery, 14 Jan 2001
Marvelously thought through analysis of Pictish symbols, primarily those on stone monuments. Cummins draws together a number of Pictish sources and historical records of related cultures to create startlingly compelling conclusions from rather sketchy evidence. He recognizes the limitations of the source material and admits where he's taking a bit of a leap. Occasionally, Cummins asserts unsupported conclusions, but these minor flaws don't detract from his remarkable thesis, which is often brilliant.
