| Description: | This site, hosted by the National Library of Norway, provides a database and catalogue of the runic inscriptions found during excavations at Bryggen, the medieval wharf of Bergen. The intention of the project is to develop a schema for rune graphology. Each entry in the database is accompanied by an image of the item inscribed and a both a literal and normalised transcription while the catalogue is divided by inscription type. The images provided are of medium resolution but are clear. The catalogue and the database are linked, thus providing an integrated tool for the researcher. There is also a link to a useful online reprint of a 1998 which published the results of the project. This paper was first presented in Glasgow and provides a comprehensive overview of the project's development. |
