Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Celtic Inscriptions of Gaul, Vol. 5: Additions and Corrections He has come to the conclusion that they had all been used to mend a road after one of the frequent floods of the local stream called the Coulon. He thinks that as monuments they stood alongside an ancient Roman road near where it issued from the old Cabellio, and that they were not carried to the spot where they have been found (about four kilometres from that town) till the fourth or fifth century of our era, a conclusion which he appears to have drawn from his finding on two of the stones ´le monogramme du Christ grave a la façon des graffiti´ - the reference is to the second stone and the third in the following list. I should have said, that the five stones are now in the space enclosed in front of the old hospital, a building which has been bought, with great public spirit, by M. Michel Jouve and his brother and sister, in order to fit it up as a public museum. There, with their assistance, I examined the stones. Since then they have been good enough to superintend the photographing of the inscriptions. See photographs 1-5, which they have generously presented to me for the following notes: - 1. M. Mazauric gives the height of this stone as about 2 metres including the piece protruding at the bottom(0m 21)as tenon for insertion into the pedestal: the side measure at the bottom he gives as 0m 46 and that at the top 0m 40. He restores it in his sketch and speaks of it thus: - ´Nous avons dit que cette superbe tombe etait complete. L´ensemble de la plinthe, de la stele et de la pyramide mesure environ 2m 54 de haut.´ Holder in his Altceltischer Sprachschatz cites the name Elvissa, together with Elvisius, from Mariasaal in Carinthia: see the Berlin Corpus Inscr. Latinarum, III. 4909; also Elvisso, genitive Elvissonis ibid., III. 5523. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
