✨#35 of #85 Things About DIAS

Ogham in 3D

DIAS's School of Celtic Studies digitizes early medieval inscriptions - some of Ireland's most significant national treasures and our earliest written records, dating back to the 5th century.

This project website was launched in 2013 by then Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Jimmy Deenihan.

#WyrdWednesday: `#Ogma mac Elathan, son of Delbaeth, is according to #Irish tradition the inventor of the #Ogham script.
In fact, #Ogham wasn't developed until the early Middle Ages.` Helmut Birkhan `Die #Kelten` #Celtic

It's not really a surprise to me anymore that I'm weird, but it still amuses me when something very concrete comes up to underscore it. Most recent example:

I just got an email from my LYS and it had photos of some knitting accoutrements. One looked like a slap bracelet with Ogham on it. "Cool!" I thought, and embiggened the picture, expecting ancient Celtic sayings about wool.

#FindsFriday: `The earliest Irish writings are brief inscriptions on stone pillars in the ogham alphabet, a system of scores and notches. Some date from as early as the fourth century. They record only names and ancestry and say nothing about events.
This stone, now incomplete, is inscribed with the male name NetacΓΊ in the ogham alphabet. #Ogham inscriptions preserve the earliest written texts in the Irish language.` #Celtic
