Well, we actually have a considerable number of Gaulish inscriptions, but none of them seem to be medical treatises.

I know that but druidic verses were not written and the ancient celts preferred orality in general. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaulois_(langue)hwhatting wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 10:46 amWell, we actually have a considerable number of Gaulish inscriptions, but none of them seem to be medical treatises.

Mostly the Greek and Latin Alphabets - Latin is probably not surprising, but there was also Greek influence in Southern Gaul - Marseilles was a Greek colony. In Northern Italy (Gallia Cisalpina) there were also inscriptions in a local Alphabet, based on Etruscan, IRRC.
