 The name of the letter comes from the Gothic word 'runa', which is a mystery. Using yet another name - "Futhark", which comes from the first six letters of the alphabet. Signs are the oldest type of runic letters barbarian peoples living in northern Europe. It was a simple alphabetic writing, suitable for many purposes: commemorative, legal and practical.Among the ancient peoples of northern Europe was the widespread belief that the runes are signs revealed by God, hence the importance attributed to them the secret, were used for divination and the making of talismans to protect against evil and to strengthen the human body. The earliest runic inscriptions originate from the II and III century AD. We do not know when and where they invented the runes. In the remainder of the parties cited are the most popular hypothesis about the runes. The history of this letter goes to the time of the Roman Empire, when the border of the empire lived peoples barbaric speak languages Germanic, including: Angles, Franks, , Goths, Jutes, Lombards, Saxons, Scandinavians, and Vandals. These tribes, despite the general opinion that it was illiterate until Christianity, had its own way of writing (alphabet rune). It is now clear that the runes are a record of the early stages of development languages, Gothic, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, English, Frisian and the tribes of central Germany. The oldest inscriptions runic back to the second century AD and they have such mastery of the letter that had to arise at the beginning of the Christian era. There are many hypotheses about the emergence letter runic. Initially it was thought that derives from that of Latin letters, because of the similarity (an adaptation of the prestigious magazine for the Barbarians). Another theory had it that the runes are the origin of eastern Europe, as found in these areas early findings written letter runic by the Goths. Some believe that the runes are similar to letters of the Greek alphabet, ie for example, b for beta, or the origin of the letter argued patriotically. The problem remains unsolved. Although the oldest inscription dates back to us the decline of the second century AD, presumably it arose earlier, as shows mastery of performance and maturity in the techniques of writing characters. This letter quickly spread and developed. Already about 500 r.n.e. We find its traces in Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Russia and Hungary. We know that runes were used for many centuries and in many countries. In the eleventh century we see the extinction magazine in England, Germany and the Netherlands. Is replaced by a letter in Latin. Conversely happening in areas of Scandinavia and its colonies, runes survived there since the beginning of their existence until the present day. For researchers, the most valuable are early inscriptions, describing events and phenomena about which there are few certificates. This raises the question of why the invention of the runes, what was needed Germanic? There are two hypotheses on this subject. One proclaimed that the Germanic tribes have created a runic writing solely for the purpose of religious ritual or magic. Not using it in everyday life, because oral transmission and memory of man have been sufficient. Most scientist rejects this assertion and believes that the peoples of the Germanic peoples used the runes in their daily lives. It is difficult to determine how widespread was the knowledge of the letter among the people. On the master letter runic also not much is known: we do not know how they were beaten, who they employ, or to compose texts, as the inscription could do in his lifetime. They are many difficulties in the study of the letter. Material which has survived to this day is just a small fragment of the whole stock runes from ancient times. Was popular to save the text on wood and bones (a very fragile material) due to availability. Inscriptions on metal underwent corrosion, and precious metals, silver and gold, were melted for the value of the ore. |
