CeltNet References

Welcome to the Celtnet References page. Here you will find the references used in this site. Most have links through to your local Amazon store so you can find these references for yourself. Some of the books, however, are rare and/or antiquarian and may have been out of print for up to a century. If you are looking for a rare Celtic Book (or any rare book for that matter) then you may be able to find or request it via the abebooks.com netork (I have used them extensively to grow my library of Celtic Literature). Why not try a search on abebooks.com to look for the rare or out of print book you want:

CeltNet References

Listed here are all the key prinary references used to create this site, along with links to some useful websites. If you want to get hold of the primary resources for yourself then I urge you to buy some of these volumes. Though most of the works listed here are on Cymric (Welsh), British, Brythonic and Gaulish deities and myths there is an increasing list of Irish works referenced as well. Wherever possible I've used my IP to Country Conversion system to point to a local source for these references. However if the book is unavailable at your local Amazon store (or is inordinately expensive I've tried to supply a more reasonable alternative). If, however, you came to this page by accident then you can either use the search system or the list (both on the left hand side of this page) to navigate the remainder of this site.
