Date(s): 1959
Creator(s): Baranauskiene, Rasa
Scope & Content: Summary of doctoral thesis submitted to Vilnius University, Lithuania. The thesis deals with Viking Age Celtic and Scandinavian language and cultural contacts which resulted in profound changes in both societies. Viking-Age rune stones found in the isle of Man contain some exceptional features and in many ways diverge from the rest of Scandinavian runic corpus. The presence of the Ogham tradition in the Isle of Man might have been one of the factors why rune-stones were so well accepted and flourished in the Isle of Man during the Viking Age.
