[gothic-l] The Eruli - not a small people

[bertil]

There is an extensive material on the Eruli
both in English and Swedish. The latest, I believe,
is my own "Eruli Influence in South Scandinavia -
Migration and Remigration, Journal "Migracijske teme,
15 (1999) 1-2, University of Zagreb, Croatia.
If you contact me on my e-mail address I can provide
you with a pdf.-copy electronically.
