Review of Epigraphy in an Intermedial Context (original) (raw)

Epigraphy in an Intermedial Context is a scholarly collection that explores Viking Age and medieval epigraphy through the lens of intermediality, illustrating the significance of inscriptions across various disciplines such as history, linguistics, and art history. The book, stemming from a 2016 conference, consists of multiple essays that argue for a deeper understanding of inscriptions as multi-faceted artifacts that carry communicative potential beyond their textual content. The editors and contributors advocate for interdisciplinary approaches and present new insights that expand the possibilities for interpreting medieval inscriptions.
