In this volume, Anglo-Saxon scholars from different disciplines Old English and Anglo-Latin literature and linguistics, palaeography, history, runology, numismatics and archaeology explore what are here called micro-texts, i.e. very short pieces of writing constituting independent, self-contained texts.
Such texts have survived in large numbers from the Anglo-Saxon period on all kinds of materials (e.g. parchment, stone, garments or coins), in the form of epigraphic inscriptions in runes and/or the Latin alphabet, or in manuscripts as colophons, scribbles or various kinds of notes or glosses. For the first time, these micro-texts are here studied in their forms and communicative functions, their pragmatics and performativity.Download the book Anglo-Saxon Micro-Texts for free or read online
