Abstract
the Celtic and other rites in regard to the character of the music employed for hymns. The decipherments provide Celtic melodies that may be dated as being of the 9th, Ioth, and i th centuries at the latest-the only Celtic melodies of any class that may be dated so early on direct evidence, save for certain Chant melodies that seem to be Celtic. The melodies discovered and deciphered by John Cargill include two on the Cross at Canna, one on the Cross at Dupplin Castle, one on the silver case of the Stowe Missal, and one in the Book of Cerne. I have not been able to find his decipherments of these last two, although I know he made them. My only contribution, after an incomplete survey of Celtic ornament, is two melodies on the Cross of Tola at Dysert O'Dea in County Clare.
