French Text:
There are not many books on runes in French. Since Lucien Musset's
introduction to runology of 1955 very little has been published on this
important and rich subject. This current volume hopes to provide an
analysis and further understanding of the various strands of research on
North European Runes. The author looks at current analysis of runic
inscriptions and provides a new one of his own. He outlines the
principle epigraphic sources of old Fubark of the Germanic Iron Age,
placing them in their historic context. Also provided are analyses of
Alu, Lauraz and Ota inscriptions. Understanding of these inscriptions
also helps our comprehension of the mentality of these ancient Germans.
The author, Stephen Pollington is best-known for his many books and
articles on ancient Northern Europe. First published in English in 2016
this new French edition also has added new previously unpublished
entries on recent French discoveries.
