Sammanfattning

The idea of recording all the runic inscriptions of Sweden dates back to the early 1600s when Johannes Bureus laid the foundations for Swedish runic research. Only two older works can lay claim to the title of corpus editions: these include the collection of woodcut prints depicting more than eleven hundred Swedish rune-stones published in 1750 and known as Bautil , and Johan Gustaf Liljegren’s Run-urkunder of 1833 which transliterates all the runic inscriptions known at that time. In the early 1880s, the National Antiquarian Hans Hildebrand laid plans for what would become the collected series Sveriges runinskrifter and in 1900 the first fascicle on the runic inscriptions of Öland was published. The immense contributions made from the late 1920s onwards, primarily by Elias Wessén, Sven B. F. Jansson and Elisabeth Svärdström, have ensured that most of the Swedish provinces have today been covered, although a few provinces, mostly in Norrland, are still lacking and many of the earliest volumes require supplementation and revision predominantly because of new finds. The volumes in the series normally comprise two parts consisting of text and plates. Each inscription that belongs to the genuine runic tradition is given its own number and the inscriptions are usually ordered according to geographical principles within each province.
