Explore tips, opinions, and features on Runes and Runic Inscriptions Collected sold at 1299 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Runes the primary script of the Germanic peoples retain in our minds a sense of mystery and excitement They still sometimes resist all best efforts to decipher them For all that they are the only records of the earliest stages of our own language an echo of a dark unremembered past They continue to set puzzles for those who study them among whom few are better known than RI Page whose selected essays on AngloSaxon and Viking runic materials are brought together in this bookAligning himself with the sceptical rather than the romantic school of runologists he draws fascinating conclusions about how where and why runes were used His scrutiny of the evidence extends from AngloSaxon runic coins to Manx inscribed stones it includes examinations of many of the known AngloSaxon runic inscriptions and manuscripts and looks in passing at some Scandinavian material both in Great Britain and elsewhereIn addition to these detailed studies of inscriptions and of the runic fuporc or alphabet on which they are based Page also considers wider issues on which runes throw light magic paganism and literacy Archaeologists historians and others will find this a uniquely useful and authoritative volume on AngloSaxon runes presenting them in a clear and commonsense light and establishing new principles for their further study

Find tips, reviews, and features on Dark Age Naval Power A sold for 90.81 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
Dark Age Naval Power offers a reassessment of the evidence for Germanic seafaring before the Viking Age The book questions many of the pillars of current archaeological orthodoxy in particular the assumption that the Vikings were unprecedented seafaring pioneers As Haywood asserts Germanic naval activity can be traced almost to the dawn of the recorded history of barbarian Europe Demonstrating that an excessive concentration on shipfinds and a reluctance to cross historical boundaries has resulted in a distorted view of early Germanic seafaring Haywood aims to present a more balanced original approach to the subject based on a synthesis of relatively neglected literary sources and archaeological evidence It is shown that the enterprise and competence of preViking seafarers has been underestimated and due prominence is given to the impressive maritime achievements of the Franks from the third century AD to the Carolingian period This book should be of interest to students and teachers of archaeology ancient history and classics
