Although the birth of the modern study of runic inscriptions can be dated as far back as the 17th century, it was not until the end of 1800 that runic studies were given methodologically sound, philologically rigorous basis. Ludwig Wimmer's Danmarks runenindskrifter - the first most comprehensive survey of Danish runestones - laid the firm foundations upon which all subsequent generations of scholars have investigated, interpreted and reclassified the vast material.Julius Magnus Petersen (1827-1917) was a Danish copper pointer and artist-archeologist. His family was of Scottish origin. He engraved plates on numismatic and natural history subjects, and collaborated with the English periodical Archaeologia. His work was closely linked to the Museum of Nordic Antiquities and Runic Works. His knowledge of the memorial runestone benefitted from the numerous journeys he took at home and abroad, especially in the Skåne provinces and in Schleswig and Holstein, from which he returned carrying large cycles of drawings. Most are kept at the National Museum in Copenaghen. Text in Danish.
