Runic alphabets have seen numerous uses since the 18th-century Viking revival, in Scandinavian Romantic nationalism (Gothicismus) and Germanic occultism in the 19th century, and in the context of the Fantasy genre and of Germanic Neopaganism in the 20th century. ==Early modern period and Viking Revival== The use of medieval runes mostly disappears in the course of the 14th century. An exception are the Dalecarlian runes, which survived, heavily influenced by the Latin alphabet, into the 19th century. Occasional use of runes also seems to have persisted elsewhere, as evidenced by the 16th-century Faroer Fámjin stone. Antiquarian interest in runes first arises in the 16th century, with the 1555 ''Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus'' by Olaus Magnus, and picks up in the 17th century, notably with Peder Resen's ''Edda Islandorum'' of 1665. In the 17th century, runology pioneer Johannes Bureus published his ''Runa ABC'', the first Swedish alphabet book. Runic calendars are perpetual calendar based on the 19-year-long Metonic cycle of the Moon. They may originate as early as in the 13th century, but most surviving examples date to the early modern period. Most of the several thousand which survive are wooden calendars date from the 16th century onward. Around 1800, such calendars were made in the form of tobacco boxes in brass. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Modern runic writing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
