The ''Old Saxon Baptismal Vow'', also called the ''Utrecht Baptismal Vow'', is a 9th-century baptismal vow that was found in a monastery library in Mainz, Germany. The vow mentions three Germanic paganist gods of the early Saxons which the reader is to forsake: Uuôden ("Woden"), Thunaer and Saxnōt. Scholar Rudolf Simek comments that the vow is of particular interest because it is the sole instance of the god Saxnōt mentioned in a religious context. One of many baptismal vows, it is now archived in the Vatican Codex pal. 577.〔Simek, p.276.〕 ==The Vow== This is only a part of the vow: Old Saxon/Old Dutch :''End ec forsacho allum dioboles uuercum and uuordum, Thunær ende Uuôden ende Saxnôte ende allum thêm unholdum thê hira genôtas sint''〔 Translation :'And I renounce all the deeds and words of the devil, Thunear, Wōden and Saxnōt, and all those fiends that are their companions'.〔 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「Old Saxon Baptismal Vow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
