Condición: new. Pages: 264 Language: English. Only a handful of runic inscriptions have been found in the territory of present-day Finland. These are, however, varied in their age, geographical distribution, and the type of artefact on which they are carved. Some are imported, but others point to local runic literacy. Discussion of runes in Finland-or their lack-has been a recurring theme in discussion of Finnish prehistory, particularly the question of continuity in the Swedish-speaking population. The chapters in this volume consider Finland's runic inscriptions in relation to the archaeological record, runic practice elsewhere in the Nordic region, and their reception as part of cultural history. The book aims to synthesize information on Finland's runic inscriptions from the Viking Age to modern times and inspire further interest in Finland's runic tradition. The book is published in the series Runrön. Runologiska bidrag utgivna av Institutionen för nordiska språk vid Uppsala universitet. Edited by Kendra Wilson 9789515836083.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Since prehistoric times, the Baltic Sea has functioned as a northern mare nostrum - a crucial nexus that has shaped the languages, folklore, religions, literature, technology, and identities of the Germanic, Finnic, Sámi, Baltic, and Slavic peoples. This anthology explores the networks among those peoples. The contributions to Contacts and Networks in the Baltic Sea Region: Austmarr as a Northern mare nostrum, ca. 500-1500 ad address different aspects of cultural contacts around and across the Baltic from the perspectives of history, archaeology, linguistics, literary studies, religious studies, and folklore. The introduction offers a general overview of crosscultural contacts in the Baltic Sea region as a framework for contextualizing the volume's twelve chapters, organized in four sections. The first section concerns geographical conceptions as revealed in Old Norse and in classical texts through place names, terms of direction, and geographical descriptions. The second section discusses the movement of cultural goods and persons in connection with elite mobility, the slave trade, and rune-carving practice. The third section turns to the history of language contacts and influences, using examples of Finnic names in runic inscriptions and Low German loanwords in Finnish. The final section analyzes intercultural connections related to mythology and religion spanning Baltic, Finnic, Germanic, and Sámi cultures. Together these diverse articles present a dynamic picture of this distinctive part of the world.…
