Summary

In this paper we aim to shed light on the little known Welsh author Edward Lhuyd, a pioneer in the comparative study of Celtic languages who advanced the theory of the existence of a Basque substratum in the Gaelic language. We discuss his works on the Basque language and those of his disciple David Parry.
