They are extremely rare. In fact, a curator of the Royal Danish Library knows of two (2) ! pieces only. One is an entire manuscript in their library, but dating from the 13th century, the other one is a manuscript fragment in Stockholm. Before I quit my search I though I ask all you folks out here whether you know of more medieval manuscripts written in runes. Any lead will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

As I am coordinating the classes for the event, I am contacting you to see<= BR> if you'd be willing to teach a class.

I have, hopefully, attached an Adobe Acrobat form (obtained from
http://kwhs.org/teacherinfo.html) that will facilitate your  ability t= o
provide me with the information I need to schedule a class for you to
teach.  If the form is not attached, I apologize and ask that you use = the
link, above, to obtain the form.

If you would please, if you are interested (and, I hope you are), fill out<= BR> the form and either mail a printed copy to me (my address is at the bottom<= BR> of the form and the bottom of this message) or electronically mail a copy to me in response to this message.

I humbly request that you send a form within the next three weeks to
facilitate my endeavor to get the classes scheduled as soon as
possible.  However, if you are absolutely unable to send the form with= in
the requested three weeks, I will still accept the form at a later time and=

Your assistance in submitting the form at the earliest possible time is
greatly appreciated.  In addition, I greatly thank you for any
consideration that you give to teaching a class.

In Service,
Iefan

No; ISBNs are listed in neither. The Chicago Manual of Style (which is the other primary format used, and the one I suspect you meant), the basic format of book citations is: Author Last Name, First Name. Title.

No; ISBNs are listed in neither.   The Chicago Manual of Style (which is the other primary format used, and the one I suspect you meant), the basic format of book citations is:
