About This Book
This volume presents contributions to the conference Old English Runes Workshop, organised by the EichstĂ€tt-MĂŒnchen Research Unit of the Academy project Runic Writing in the Germanic Languages ( RuneS ) and held at the Catholic University of EichstĂ€tt-Ingolstadt in March 2012. The conference brought together experts working in an area broadly referred to as Runology.
Scholars working with runic objects come from several different fields of specialisation, and the aim was to provide more mutual insight into the various methodologies and theoretical paradigms used in these different approaches to the study of runes or, in the present instance more specifically, runic inscriptions generally assigned to the English and/or the Frisian runic corpora. Success in that aim should automatically bring with it the reciprocal benefit of improving access to and understanding of the runic evidence, expanding and enhancing insights gained within such closely connected areas of study of the Early-Mediaeval past.
