[edit]

There's a ton of Swedish Rune stone articles, most of which use the numbering system from these books (and few of which cite any references). And the Rundata article has been accumulating a fair bit of content which probably belongs here.

It's a little odd to have an article for a series of reference works (and the associated cataloging system), but they're standard in Runology, and it seems better than to explain this information once than to scatter it throughout Wikipedia.

Comments appreciated. emk 12:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I'm increasingly certain that the publisher information is incomplete (or even misintepreted). I'm going to have to try and translate the Swedish article to be certain, though. Any Swedish speakers here? emk 16:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that should be a bit better. Everything in the bibliography has now been checked against at least two sources, I think. emk 16:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vol X

[edit]

I'm fairly certain vol X is illustrations for VI-IX. Uppland holds by far the greatest number of remaining runestones and most plates are collected in a single volume where almost all the extant stones are depicted. Curiously, Vol X is missing in almost all lists I've seen - it seems "vol X" never really got an official "volume name" if you get my meaning, but numbering still skipped it. If I recall correctly (which is is in no way certain), the spine of the book reads "Upplands runinskrifter - Planschband" (illustration volume). I'll try again to get there and write it down properly. (oh and the IP just now was me) // OlofE 18:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fixes! I found the same error in a couple of other volumes, and fixed it there, too. If you find out any more information about volume X, it would be extremely good to have. emk 12:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
