The early runic language of Scandinavia

Meer over het boek

The book investigates the dialectal status of the language of the older runic inscriptions of Scandinavia (AD 200-500) within a framework that encompasses all the early Germanic languages of north-western Europe. The dialect geographical results achieved are compared with the evidence provided by place-name scholarship and by the reports of the classical and post-classical historians as well as by archeological research.
