Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history and language of the Picts, a people who once occupied a significant portion of Scotland. Challenging the widely held belief that the Picts were simply a branch of the Welsh, the author presents a compelling case for their Gothic origins. Drawing on historical accounts from Bede and Nennius, as well as insights from Roman writers, the book meticulously examines evidence for the Pictish people's migration from Scythia and their unique language. The author further refutes the claim that the language spoken in the Lowlands of Scotland was a mere corruption of English, arguing instead that it shares roots with the ancient Gothic language, thereby highlighting a distinct cultural heritage for Scotland. The book's detailed analysis of linguistic origins and historical accounts provides a rich and insightful exploration of the Pictish people and their place in the larger tapestry of European history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Octavo. Frontispiece, vi-xvi, 775 pages. Abridged from the dictionary and supplement, in four volumes in quarto. John Jamieson (1759-1838) began his work on the uniqueness of the Scottish language in his work the Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language. As a Scot living in London, he realized how different his native language was from the Augustan language of early 19th century England. His use of examples makes this a very useful volume in considering Scotticisms versus the English as spoke in London. A very handsome copy bound in full tan polished calf, boards doubled ruled in gilt, raised bands, red morocco spine label gilt, all other compartments fully gilt decorated, all edges marbled with matching marbled endpapers, from the library of Lillian Drake Whitehouse with her bookplate.
