KD VON KLAUS DÜWEL & WILHELM HEIZMANN I. Einleitung Nach den ersten Zeugnissen für die ältere Runenreihe in epigraphischer Darbietung auf Goldbrakteaten (im Sommer 1774 wurde das Exemplar vom Typ C aus dem Raum Vadstena, hier Nr. 15, gefunden) und der frühen Dokumentation von Steininschriften Schwedens in Johan Göranssons Bautil (1750) begann man sich Gedanken zu machen, welche Funktion wohl die Runenreihe alleinstehend, gelegentlich verkürzt, vereinzelt in verderbter Gestalt, manchmal in Verbindung mit anderen Inschriften wohl haben möge. Unterschiedliche Vorschläge sind dazu gemacht worden. Bereits im Jahre 1832 hat Johan G. Liljegren in seiner Run-Lära zu Fu^ark-Inschriften in Schweden in gewöhnlicher Ordnung und ohne eine andere beigefügte Inschrift bemerkt, daß sie dort nur um ihrer selbst willen aufgeschrieben seien, um deren Kenntnis zu verbreiten und zu bewahren (s.u. S. 31 Anm. 126). Dazu treten im Laufe der Zeit andere Überlegungen: Lehre, Belehrung, Schmuck und Zierde, Schreibübungen, magische Mittel, aber auch Betrug leichtgläubiger Besteller oder Nutzer. Viele bekannte Runologen haben sich zu diesem Problem geäußert:

“Runische Schriftlichkeit in den germanischen Sprachen – Runic writing in the Germanic languages”
RuneS is a long-term research project under the umbrella of the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities which seeks to give a comprehensive linguistic analysis of all known Germanic runic inscriptions. While previous research has focused on understanding individual texts and their historico-cultural features, the RuneS project aims to analyze runic writing in a more holistic manner that goes beyond the boundaries of the traditionally studied Older fuþark, Younger fuþąrk and Old English fuþorc writing systems. By synthesizing previous research and applying new methodologies and technologies to all of the available data, project members are creating a body of resources which will lead to a deeper understanding of these earliest writing systems. The project consists of three modules:
1 – Editorial basics; corpus creation
2 – Runic Graphemics
3 – Runic Text Grammar and Pragmatics
The project is currently engaged in the second of these modules and making discoveries with the aid of technological resources unavailable to previous researchers, such as microscope cameras and 3D photography. A prime example of these findings and their implications was made by members at the Eichstätt-Munich research center, a team responsible for the Pre-Old English and Old English runic corpus. They recently analyzed an artifact, the Bergakker Scabbard Mount, and found conclusively that a runic character in the inscription had been misidentified. The application of such rigorous analyses and the creation of a unified runic corpus is an unprecedented effort that shows great promise.
