o this there are three monthly magazines wholly in Breton. The first is _Ar Vro_, edited by the poet Jaffrennou, and in 1908 in its fifth year. The second is _Dihunamb_, written in the dialect of Vannes and started in 1905. The third is _Feiz ha Breiz_, started 1899. AUTHORITIES FOR BRETON.--For the external history of Breton see H. Zimmer, "Die keltische Bewegung in der Bretagne," _Preussische Jahrbucher_ for 1899, xcix. 454-497. For Old and Middle Breton, J. Loth, _Chrestomathie bretonne_ (Paris, 1890), and the same writer's _Vocabulaire vieux-breton_ (Paris, 1884). Loth and E. Ernault have been indefatigable in investigating the history of the language. Their numerous contributions are mainly to be found scattered through the _Revue celtique, Zeitschrift fur celtische Philologie_ and the _Annales de Bretagne_. Ernault has also published _Glossaire moyen-breton_ in 2 vols. (Paris, 1895-1896); _Dictionnaire etymologique du moyen-breton_ (Paris, 1888). Another etymological dictionary was published by V.

Ernault, _Petite Grammaire bretonne_ (St Brieuc, 1897, the latter also takes account of the dialects of Treguier and Cornouailles).
