- catalog abstract "Annotation A specialist in runes and runic inscriptions, Looijenga (Rijkuniversiteit Groningen) gathers nearly all older inscriptions in the runic alphabet from the period 150-700 AD in England, across northern Europe, and southeast as far as Bosnia and Rumania. She begins with essays on early runic writing, and the historical and archaeological contexts of objects that have been runed. Then she presents a catalogue of the inscriptions with datings; readings and interpretations; limited graphic, orthographic, and linguistic analysis; and concise bibliographical references. She ventures at least some speculation even on those inscriptions that some might dismiss as uninterpretable. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). Annotation This volume gathers all older fu~ark inscriptions found in Denmark, Germany, England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary, Bosnia, Rumania, Norway and Sweden. It contains essays on early runic writing, the historical and archaeological contexts of runic objects, and a new theory on the origin of runic writing. The book contains also a catalogue of the runic inscriptions found in the regions mentioned above. The catalogue gives datings, readings and interpretations, plus limited graphic, orthographic and linguistic analyses of the inscriptions from the above mentioned corpora, complete with concise bibliographical references. The overall aim has been to provide the reader with a practical survey of the oldest inscripti-ons from the aforementioned areas, together with relevant archaeological and cultural-historical data. The book is particularly useful for runologists, students and others interested in runes, such as archaeologists, historians, linguists and amateurs. It is actually a handbook covering all older runic inscriptions and their context.".
