Rudiments of Runelore door Stephen Pollington
A fine academic introduction to runes. For such a short book, it's chock full onf information on what is known about the ancient writing systems.
An excellent book, not just because I get a ‘thank you’ in the preface - lol!
An excellent work if you want to compare the Anglo-Saxon English with the modern translation (and check out a few other translators attempts to see if artistic licence crept in). Stephen's ability to grasp the old language and get the meaning from it is unerring; he can really put across what it must have felt like to have lived in those times.

Recipes include wyrtdrencas (wort-drinks: herbal infusions), sealf (salves, ointments) and a treatment for “flying venom.” A fascinating reference and an entertaining browse.… (meer)
