An academic treatise on the Medieval spiritual poem 'Dream of the Rood' dating from the English monastic movement of the C8th, a portion of whose heroic section is preserved in runes on the remarkable Ruthwell cross near Dumfries. Illustrations of the cross and its runes accompany the text (in Czech).  Quite why a scholar in the Czech Republic should have spent so much time researching and publishing on this topic is unclear.  A three-page bibliography of writings consulted (all in English) is included as an appendix.  Hardback.  132 pages.  Cat No 4667
