@wildgooseman Looking around, apparently folk knowledge: "In 1593 Bureus... learned to read the runes from the local farmers." etc
@caitlinrgreen thx for the reply. Does this mean the runic writing/language was still in use circa the 17th century?
@wildgooseman Well, apparently so in late 16th-century Sweden, or at least it was still understood by some? Not my specialism though!! :)
