This volume brings together the most important published work (together with one previously unpublished paper) of Professor R.I. Page on the subject which has intrigued him throughout his career: runes, the native script of the Germanic peoples. The articles, arranged chronologically, examine the question of runes from a variety of standpoints, but focus primarily on the use and development of the script amongst the Anglo-Saxons, and explore the history ofscholarship in this field. There are also seminal studies of Scandinavian inscriptions in England and on the Isle of Man. The collection is prefaced by an introductory paper detailing new discoveries and debating matters of controversy. Most of the articles have been updated. The book is completed by a bibliography of Professor Page's writings. Professor R.I. PAGE was formerly Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge, and Librarian of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
