Andrew, the link appears to be a no-go zone.
Has any information surfaced about the language?

It is in Latin. I believe I heard the fragment they acquired was Ps. 84, although I don't know if that was the Hebrew enumeration or the Septuagint which the Vulgate follows.

You must have known Marconi. Was he as big of a geek as they say? Is it true that he and you put a bullet in the furnace in shop class? :P

| Thanks for the clarification. I wondered if it might have been a remnant of Celtic worship before it was overtaken by the Roman. Obviously not.

Even though Ireland was resistant to RCC authority, post council of whitby up to Gregory VII, they used Latin as primary language in writing. Evidence of Celtic lang use in writing or on grave stones etc. among christians is rare after 7-8 th century from what I have read. Writing of any kind from this era is very rare. New scholarship in the last few years may have uncovered a different story.
