The English version of the title (given in the abstract on p. 4) of this handsomely bound volume is Dictionary of Proper Names in Scandinavian Viking Age Runic Inscriptions, which explains the absence of names from the oldest runic inscriptions. the book is unusual in that it is presented as the fifth revised edition of the dictionary, although it is the first printed edition after four versions that had appeared on the Internet (www.nordiska.uu.se/forskn/samnord.htm).
