About this episode
"traced in the Cornish branch of the great Celtic speech" [DEVI]
The Morley-Montgomery Award series rolls on, and this time we've jumped from 1979 (the last award granted, covered in Episode 453) to 1995. Dr. Margaret Nydell turns her philological attention to the Canon.
She specifically looks at Sherlock Holmes's intentions in researching the Cornish language, with its roots in Chaldean. Her article is both scholarly and delightfully funny. And it's just a Trifle.
