R. L. Trask's The History of Basque, published by Routledge in 1997, is the standard scholarly history of the Basque language, addressing its isolate status, its internal history and the long debate over its possible relatives, written by a specialist historical linguist. Its strength is that it remains the standard English-language reference on Basque historical linguistics. Its limit is that it is a linguistic history, not a study of Basque religious or mythological tradition, so a claim about Basque religion or folklore needs a source addressing that subject specifically rather than this study of the language's history.
