The scattered research history of the Old Frisian runic
inscriptions dating to the early Medieval period (ca. AD 400-1000)
calls for a comprehensive and systematic reprocessing of these
objects within their socio-cultural context and against the
backdrop of the Old English Runic tradition. This book presents an
annotated edition of 24 inscriptions found in the modern-day
Netherlands, England and Germany. It provides the reader with an
introduction to runological methodology, a linguistic commentary on
the features attested in the inscriptions, and a detailed catalogue
which outlines the find history of each object and summarizes
previous and new interpretations supplemented by pictures and
drawings. This book additionally explores the question of Frisian
identity and an independent Frisian runic writing tradition and its
relation to the contemporary Anglo-Saxon runic culture. In its
entirety, this work provides a rich basis for future research in
the field of runic writing around the North Sea and may therefore
be of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and early
Medieval history and archaeology.
