[EN] On the introductory formula of the Larzac tablet.
The longest Gaulish inscription known at the present day, the Larzac lead tablet, begins with an introductory formula, for which I suggest a linguistic and stylistic analysis. In my opinion, this formula contains two parallel noun phrases, introduced by the preposition in, «in, against» ; the first one is directed against a spell attributed to several witches ; the second one, composed in a syntactically parallel way, is directed against the name of these witches. This kind of protecting or aggressive formulae, first towards an entity, then towards a name linked with the latter, is well attested in the Iguvian Tables, one of the richest documents we have on Italic religions, and formulaic models may have circulated between Italic and Celtic languages for such textual genres.
