DESCRIPTION

Runes: a Handbook

Runes, often considered magical symbols of mystery and power, are in fact an alphabetic form of writing.

Derived from one or more Mediterranean prototypes, they were used by Germanic peoples to write

different kinds of Germanic language, principally Anglo-Saxon and the various Scandinavian idioms, and

were carved into stone, wood, bone, metal, and other hard surfaces types of inscription range from

memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages to crude graffiti. First reliably

attested in the second century AD, runes were in due course supplanted by the roman alphabet, though

in Anglo-Saxon England they continued in use until the early eleventh century, inScandinavia until the

fifteenth (and later still in one or two outlying areas).This book provides an accessible, general account of

runes and runic writing from their inception to their final demise. It also covers modern uses of runes, and

deals with such topics as encoded texts, rune names, how runic inscriptions were made, runological

method, and the history of runic research. A final chapter explains where those keen to see runic

inscriptions can most easily find them.Professor MICHAEL P. BARNES is Emeritus Professor of
