In Brittany, it is mainly his work on toponymy that is still mentioned, but a large part of his work concerns Wales, such as translations of major works from Welsh into French or comparative linguistic approaches between Welsh and Breton. An initial approach is proposed here, based on exchanges with the National Library of Wales, in order to understand Loth's relationship with Wales, Welsh scholars, and other Bretons who looked across the Channel. |
