Patrick Sims-Williams is Professor of Celtic Studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. He is the author of ‘Religion and Literature in Western England, 600-800’ (1990) and ‘Britain and Early Christian Europe’ (1995). He is also the co-editor of ‘Ptolemy: Towards a Linguistic Atlas of the Earliest Celtic Place-Names of Europe’ (2000), and the editor of Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies.

"[Sims-Williams's] concern is to give due weight to all the possibilities rather than to rush into one attractive interpretation. This will make the book extremely valuable as a restraining influence on the rasher tendencies of other scholars. The Celtic Inscriptions of Britain is a major achievement in Celtic historical linguistics and will be an indispensible work of reference for many years to come." Antiquity "(Celtic Inscriptions of Britain) represents an invaluable contribution to its field."Cumbrian Medieval Celtic Studies
