The older runic inscriptions (ca. AD 150 - 450) represent the
earliest attestation of any Germanic language. The close
relationship of these inscriptions to the archaic Mediterranean
writing traditions is demonstrated through the linguistic and
orthographic analysis presented here. The extraordinary importance
of these inscriptions for a proper understanding of the prehistory
and early history of the present-day Germanic languages, including
English, becomes abundantly clear once the accu-mulation of
unfounded claims of older mythological and cultic studies is
cleared away.
