Reproduction of the 1705 copy of the poem made by Humfrey Wanley and published by George Hickes.
The Old English rune poem, dated to the 8th or 9th century, has stanzas on 29 Anglo-Saxon runes.
It stands alongside younger rune poems from Scandinavia, which record the names of the 16 Younger Futhark runes.
The poem is a product of the period of declining vitality of the runic script in Anglo-Saxon England after the Christianization of the 7th century. A large body of scholarship has been devoted to the poem, mostly dedicated to its importance for runology but to a lesser extent also to the cultural lore embodied in its stanzas.[1]
The sole manuscript recording the poem, Cotton Otho B.x, was destroyed in the fire at the Cotton library of 1731, and all editions of the poems are based on a facsimile published by George Hickes in 1705.
