🏔️ Discovering the Names of Andorra’s Past: Val de Norra Book Launch

 📖 On April 14th, the Consell General of Andorra will host the official presentation of a remarkable new scholarly work in the field of historical onomastics and toponymy:

"Val de Norra. Diccionari toponímic i onomàstic de les Valls d’Andorra. Segles XII–XVII", authored by Albert Pujal Trullà.

The event, set to begin at 18:00h, is more than a book launch - it’s an invitation to delve into the deep linguistic, cultural, and historical roots of the Valls d’Andorra as reflected through centuries of place names and personal names.

Albert Pujal Trullà, a prominent local historian, invites guests to explore the rich medieval heritage of Andorran names, recovered through meticulous archival research. The book acts as both a dictionary and a cultural map, revealing how names - often overlooked - are in fact crucial traces of memory, identity, and landscape transformation.

The publication spans a vast timeline, from the 12th to the 17th century, capturing the evolution of language and society in a unique mountain region shaped by Catalan tradition, local governance, and enduring community ties.
