Abstract

This article presents the new find of a manuscript with runes from Byland in Yorkshire. It provides a full description of the manuscript and examines its Scandi­navian runic alphabet in detail. The runes are further assessed within the context of the English tradition of runica manuscripta and Scandinavian epi­graphical tradition in Britain. Due to the exceptional origins of the manuscript and a number of uncommon features, the background of the material and the runic scribe are also examined. https://doi.org/10.33063/diva-384655
