Schriften zur Runologie und Sprachwissenschaft
Wolfgang Krause was one of the founders of German-language runology. The study of runes can uncover clues about everyday ancient life as well as about linguistic history – a cultural study at the juncture between linguistics, philology, archaeology, and history.
Germanische Religionsgeschichte
Altertumskunde - Altertumswissenschaft - Kulturwissenschaft
2007 saw the completion of the Reallexikon der Germanischen Altertumskunde . This volume takes stock of developments and brings together the fields of archeology, history, philology and numerous natural sciences. The themes in the book address current topics, methods and new sources
Analecta Septentrionalia
Compared to other medieval philologies, the particular nature of the literature of the North, and in particular of Iceland, has always meant that the study of Old Norse languages must be interdisciplinary and rely on methodical variety. This volume, published on the occasion of the 80th birthday of the Munich old Norse scholar, Kurt Schier, contains some three dozen studies on the mythology, history of religion, literature and poetry of the North…

Early Germanic Literature and Culture
The Concept of Germanic Antiquity
The Study of Germanic Antiquity ( Germanische Altertumskunde), both as a concept and as a problem, is a peculiarly German affair. This is demonstrated by the fact that there is no entirely appropriate English translation of the term. It is worth considering why, and to what extent, the founders and subsequent representatives of this discipline saddled themselves with a conceptual term that exercises critical attention, today more than ever. Such …
Zur Geschichte der Gleichung "germanisch - deutsch"
This volume investigates the question of why for centuries the Germans have unhesitatingly regarded the ancient Germanic tribes as their direct ancestors - and commonly even do so today. Although advances in academic research have shown that we are dealing here with an artificial continuity and an invented tradition, in the 19th and 20th centuries the 'freedom-loving' and 'warlike' Germanic tribes of ancient times served to motivate contemporary …
Europe – Africa – Asia
In this paper Heinrich Beck outlines his theory about the relations among the world cultures and their contribution toward what he calls' creative peace'. Three of the world's cultures, namely that of Europe, Africa and Asia, are seen as much as members of a living organism, which is taken to be a 'Heuristic principle of possible understanding' whereby the integration and mutual reception of these three world cultures can be effected. The Europea…

Early Magnifying Glasses
There is a popular idea that magnifying glasses are a relatively modern invention, and that consequently all antique die-sinking and gem-cutting must have been done by people with very short sight, which is equivalent to having a magnifier permanently attached to one's eyes. This idea is so prevalent that when ancient magnifying glasses are found, scholars go to the trouble of trying to find some other use to which they could be put, the favourit…
