Annotation
General information: The subject of Celtology are the languages and literatures of the Celtic island peoples (Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Cymric (Welsh), Breton and Cornish) as well as mainland Celtic, only fragments of which have been handed down. In addition to working with (original) texts from different periods and different types of text, the focus of the degree course is on philological as well as literary-theoretical and historical questions of text interpretation. In order to deepen your knowledge of cultural and literary backgrounds, the cultural and intellectual history of the peoples concerned is also included in the analysis. Research focuses: The Marburg Master's degree programme in Celtology focuses on linguistic and literary-historical research into two medieval Celtic languages, Irish and Cymric, whose rich text corpora, in addition to their linguistic-historical significance, also represent a significant contribution to European cultural development in the Middle Ages.
