Ogam Alphabet (Copy)
Ogam Alphabet (Copy)
Ogam writing is an ancient form of script which was used in the 3rd, 4th and 5th centuries. It was found on tall standing pillar stones dotted around the country, and is seen to be a series of lines and etches scratched into the corner of the tall stones. The script came to be recognised after it had been referred to in various manuscripts, most notably in the Tain Bó Chuailgne, a piece of literature which was found in the ancient manuscript, the Book of Leinster. From notes found in the marginalia of these manuscripts, scholars were able to decipher an alphabet of the ogam language. The alphabet is made up of a series of sounds made from running a few letters together (in the English language).
