Spickermann, Wolfgang (ed.), Keltische Götternamen als individuelle Option? = Celtic theonyms as an individual option?: Akten des 11. Internationalen Workshops ‘Fontes Epigraphici Religionum Celticarum Antiquarum’ vom 19.–21. Mai 2011 an der Universität Erfurt, Osnabrücker Forschungen zu Altertum und Antike-Rezeption, 19, Rahden/Westfalen: Verlag Marie Leidorf GmbH, 2013.  
abstract:
In 1998 a major project of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften was launched for the global collection, analysis, edition, and annotation of antique epigraphic sources on Celtic religion which forms a complement to the analysis of literary sources by G. Dobesch. Since 2000 eleven workshops have taken place, the most recent one of which investigated the motivation of devotees [demarcation against Roman cults, social links with local tradition ?, etc.]. An introduction is followed by 15 contributions on the present state of the corpus F.E.R.C.AN, individuality in Celtic divine names, Celtic and other Indo-European deities, names of humans and gods containing -smer-, divine names derived from toponyms, Gobannos and his namesakes, Celtic theonyms in antique literature and in the Portugese Lusitania, inscriptions, sanctuaries, and monumentalisation in Celtic Hispania, religion and individualisation in Southern Gaul, Baginus and related divine names from Vienne, information on the native civitas of devotees, the cult of Epona in the Central Balkans, an inscription for Mars Campester from Moesia Superior, and on the Celtic bull with triple horns.
