Revival of the Runes: The Modern Rediscovery and Reinvention of the Germanic Runes - Stephen E. Flowers Ph.D. 2021

Bure’s Runology
From the Renaissance to the Baroque

Bure’s runology is represented in table 3.1, the left side of which was printed in his 1611 text Runa ABC-boken (p. 11). It shows both the adulrunor and the common runes used in writing, which Bure is interested in formulating for use in writing modern Swedish. (The section at right presents another more readable version of Bure’s table.)
