Philippe Du Contant De La Molette
Philippe du Contant de La Molette (1737–1793) was a French theologian and biblical scholar. Biography He was born at La Côte-Saint-André, in Dauphiné, France, 29 August 1737. He studied at the Sorbonne, and, in 1765, defended a thesis on Job, in six languages. Louis XV was so well pleased that he allowed him to pass the examinations for the licentiate without the required delays, a privilege, however, which de la Molette did not use. Later on, he became Vicar-General of the diocese of Vienne, France. He died on the scaffold during the Reign of Terror in 1793. Works As a biblical author, he shows great erudition and is well versed in the Semitic languages, but he lacked originality, and his criticism is often misleading. His works, all published in Paris, are the following: * (1775) * (1777) * , etc. (1777), 3 vols., a work intended especially as a refutation of Voltaire François-Marie Arouet (; 21 November 169430 May 1778), known by his ''Pen name, nom de p ...

Urnfield Culture
The Urnfield culture () was a late Bronze Age Europe, Bronze Age culture of Central Europe, often divided into several local cultures within a broader Urnfield tradition. The name comes from the custom of cremation, cremating the dead and placing their ashes in urns, which were then buried in fields. The first usage of the name occurred in publications over grave sites in southern Germany in the late 19th century. Over much of Europe, the Urnfield culture followed the Tumulus culture and was succeeded by the Hallstatt culture. Some linguists and archaeologists have associated this culture with a Celtic languages, pre-Celtic language or Proto-Celtic language family.Peter Schrijver, 2016, "Sound Change, the Italo-Celtic Linguistic Unity, and the Italian Homeland of Celtic", in John T. Koch & Barry Cunniffe, ''Celtic From the West 3: Atlantic Europe in the Metal Ages: questions of shared language''. Oxford, England; Oxbow Books, pp. 9, 489–502.
