A dozen articles from a symposium in Tromso, Norway, June 1991, look at Old English, Old Norse, and other elder Germanic tongues from comparative or historical perspectives, including runology. The topics include the development of runic script and its relationship to Germanic phonological history, the now phrase, comparatives, Latin-type accusatives and infinitives, verb-second syntax, and dating the break between High and Low German.
