"The task of the corpus “Fontes epigraphici religionum Celticarum antiquarum” is to edit those religious inscriptions from the Roman provinces which may have a Celtic-language origin. As part of this, the votive formulae with the pertinent gods’ names that fall into that category are examined from the linguistic, epigraphic, historic and iconographic perspectives and classified. This volume deals with the religious testimonials from the province of Germania inferior. In this first fascicle, all of the theonymic formulae from Lower Germania (35 for individual gods and two for paired deities, as well as 61 invoking groups of female deities, the so-called “matres” or “matronae” – the mothers) are analysed individually in relation to the history of language, paying particular attention to any phenomena indicating contact, either between these inscriptions or with other areas occupied by the Keltike or the panthea of classical Antiquity. This is followed by a language history, semantic and syncretic summary of the names of the deities investigated, together with a typology of the votive formulae from Germania inferior and a language history analysis of the names of people with a Celtic background mentioned in the relevant inscriptions, regardless of their particular role. The work is completed by a methodological introduction to the study of the (phases of) the Celtic religions and the classification of the names of deities based on a range of parameters, as well as an appendix on the development of Celtic language variants and their gradual disappearance from the core Indo-Germanic language."--

"Ce volume est consacré principalement à deux moyens d'expression utilisés de façon très variée par la société en Gaule romaine et au moins dans une région voisine, l'Italie de Nord : les représentations sculptées, moulées ou peintes, et les inscriptions. Les auteur.e.s qui se sont rassemblé.e.s dans ses pages en ont choisi un certain nombre qui leur sont apparues comme particulièrement significatives, et qu'ils ont présentées ainsi que commentées soit de manière individuelle soit par séries. Il s'y ajoute plusieurs articles traitant de thèmes qui se rattachent de façon plus ou moins proche au sujet principal. Tous expriment des idées et des interprétations souvent nouvelles et qu'il a paru très utile de faire connaître."--Page 4 of cover.
