Synopsis

With Arntz's groundbreaking theories that Celtic writing is also due to Etruscan alphabets, the young runologist in 1935 opposed not only the "mythical" runology but also against common assumptions of regime-loyal linguists such as Wolfgang Krause. So it is no wonder that the Niemeyer Publisher, publisher of the first edition of the "Handbook", attested the author after the war his work had been an "undesirable publication". To date, the manual represents one of the authoritative studies on runic science. The findings gained correspond to today's state of research. A highly interesting reading material for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of runic science.
