Abstract
Even before a systematic study of the Celtic languages began, Tudor scholars were collecting lexicographical, phonological and etymological information about them. The evidence that has survived indicates the currency of the arguments in favour of the relatedness of Irish and Welsh, something which bears implications for their relationship to English. The paper considers two relatively unknown lists or tables of Celtic-English equivalents to understand their scope, purpose and authorship.
