摘要

First define "saint" then define "Celtic": each operation presents difficulties of its own, and when the two terms are combined the difficulties expand almost exponentially. I live in South West Scotland surrounded by towns and villages whose names begin "Kil", signifying the former site of a hermit's (saint's to many) cell. But the likes of Winning, Maurs, Marnock and others fail to make it to this dictionary, although Bride (Brigit) does have an appropriately full entry. The preface explains: "This is by no means a comprehensive guidebook: there are very many saints whose cult was quite local, since any Christian who was good and had also died might be considered a saint [...]".
机译:首先定义“圣人”,然后定义“凯尔特人”:每个操作都有其自身的困难,而当两个术语组合在一起时,这些困难几乎成倍地扩大。我住在苏格兰西南部,周围的城镇和村庄的名字都以“ Kil”开头,这代表了隐士(对许多人来说是圣人)牢房的旧址。但是,尽管Bride(Brigit)确实有适当的完整词条,但Winning,Maurs,Marnock等之类的词都未能加入该词典。序言中解释说:“这绝不是一本全面的指南:有很多圣徒的信徒是非常本地化的,因为任何一个善良也已死的基督徒都可以被视为圣徒。”
