Description:
This work, containing two volumes, offers information about over 270 deities of the Germanic peoples and covers the time from the Roman Era – the first centuries CE in which the Roman Empire enfolded large parts of the territories of Europe where Germanic peoples lived – up until the Viking Age. The scientific information is accompanied with many new ‘myths’ and a rich amount of illustrations. All together it presents a much more vivid presentation than solely dry scholarly information could offer.
This volume 1 contains a longer background introduction and the deity information from A to J(arnsaxe).

This work is discontinued and already removed from book shop catalogs.

The information from this and part 2 is, after updating and expanding it, published in the book “Illustrated Lexicon of Germanic Deities”, see here.
