摘要

Runes are often considered magical symbols of mystery and power. Even the index to the dry-as-dust current edition of the abridged schedules (14th) to the Dewey Decimal Classification has just the one entry: "Runes - Divination, 133.3". Runes are, in fact, one of many alphabetical forms of writing. Although mostly associated with the various Germanic languages, principally Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian versions, they have also been used for Latin, Hebrew and Greek. Indeed, given a font of runic symbols (and I am impressed how well the typesetter has coped with all these spidery matchstick figures) this review could be written in runes! Derived from Mediterranean prototypes, runic inscription carved into stone, wood, bone, metal and other hard surfaces range from memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages, to crude graffiti. First reliably attested in the second century CE, runes were eventually supplanted by the Roman alphabet, though they continued to be used in Scandinavia until the fifteenth century.
