A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-3, 8. uring my doctoral studies, thetimeshave been shifting. There have Dbeen times of extreme weariness. There have been times when I have buried myself in my lecturing duties, just to get away from the thesis for a while. Then again, there have been times of sheerest joy- ho urs and hours spent over dusty books in libraries or in my study. Now, when I'm finally finished, it is time for me to give thanks to all those who have helped and supporred me through these years. From the beginning, my main supervisor Dick Harrison has put me un­ der wholesorne stress, urging me to get on with the work. H e has patiently done his part of the tedious paper work, filled in the right forms and written introductory letters and certificates. In berween he has guaranteed me full academic freedom, for which I am gratefuL My co-supervisor Mats Greiff once uttered rhat he, being an expert in dass issues in the industrial age, in history of sport and of modern popular culture, rarelyhas learned so much from supervising a doctoral student. I regret to be of a different opinion. Mats will probably never tum me into an orthodox Marxist, but through the years he has pointed out crucial perspectives I would never have disca­ vered without his help. And, I have to admit, Engels' book on the German Peasant's War was a good evening read. Yet among my supervisors, Håkan Håkansson should have the greatestshare ofhonour. Through his erudition he has corrected my misconceptions and guided me into the intellectual world of the Renaissance, and he has done far more for this thesis than could be expected. To the very end he has encouraged me and damperred my anxieties over rhe text. 7 Hjalmar Fors, my boon companion since my very first day at the aca­ demy has read and commented the introductory chapter, helping me to make it a lot better than it originally was. Terhi Kiiskinen kindly read and commented an early version of my chapter on Sigfridus Forsius. I am also deeply indebted to Kjell Lekeby, who has shared his extensive excerpts and Swedish translations of various sources related to Forsius. These documents have been invaluable points of reference for my own research and for my struggle with the Latin phrases. During my work, Historical Studies and the seminar at Malmö Uni­ versity has been my primary research milieu. Thanks for good comradeship and discussions - Thomas Småberg for keeping the medievalist colours high, and for encouraging the noble art of post seminars among your col­ leagues; Stefan Nyzell for discussions on everything between the cultural history of riots, film, literature and parenthood; Carolina Jonsson Malm for your energy and intelligence; Matilda Svensson for your sharp-witted tongue, disguised by your gentle, Ölandish idiom; Vanja Losic for your kindness and hospitality- and to the rest of you for making everyday cares a lot more interesting. Through a scholarship from the National Graduate School of History I was able to spend three terms in 2005-2006 as visiting student at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University. Apart from providing inspiring environments and unrnatehed libraries, Cambridge was a place of many seminars and discussions. Thanks to my sponsor Lauren Kasseli for reading and commenting my first empirkal drafts. During my time at HPS, the Latin Therapy Group also became part of my weekly routine. A great deal of thanks thus goes to Debbie, Nick, Anke, Liz, Patrick and all others, not only for the intellectual exercise and for the slightly odd Latin texts we translated, but also for tea and biscuits galore. A scholarship from Ridderstads stiftelse for historisk grafisk forskning has financed parts of my research, for which I now express my gratitude. The printing of the thesis has been financed by KungL Gustav Ado?fi Akademien for svensk folkkultur and by the National Graduate School of History. Despite all comradeship and all fun involved, writing a thesis is lonely work. I cannot emphasize enough how much my friends and family has meant to me during these years. My parents, Per and Catharina Kjellgren have encouraged and supported me from the very beginning. My sister Hanna Stafhammar Kjellgren has patiently listened to the complaints ofher little brother. With her own thesis well behind her, she has pointett out all the perils and traps that I as a P hD student was bo und to fall into sooner or 8 later - which I also did. B ut i t is consoling to learn that you are not alone in your misery. Others have been there before. Finally, my wife Lisa Kjellgren has lived with my thesis and my dead clergymen and astrologers ever since we first met that April evening in Uppsala. Her patience has been admirable, her wits and humour a eonstant source of joyand happiness, and her love a God-sent gift. In later years, my daughter Elsa has also taught me that there are things in life mo re important than my thesis, like reading Maomin books, playing football in the garden, swimming in the lake and watching Shaun the Sheep on the telly. To her I dedicate this book by paraphrasing the Preacher of Ecclesiastes 12:12: "My daughter, be admonished: of writing books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Sjörröd, Hästveda, at daybreak 13 July 2ou. Editorial Notes Unless stated otherwise, all translations are mine. Longer quotations, and quotations significant for the argument, are provided in original in the footnotes. The names of historical persons are given in the form they are generally known. For instance I will use vernacular English for Cyprian Leowitz, but the Latinized Benedictus Olai instead of the Swedish Bengt Olofsson. For the names of Swedish monarchs and consorts I have kept the Swedish standard spelling, with the exceptions of Gustavus Adolphus and Christina, due to their international renown. Most Swedish individuals mentioned in the sources are placed after their forenarue in the index, apart from those (for instance Sigfridus Aranus Forsius) whose last names (in most cases indicating their place ofbirth) are traditionally acceptedas their surnames. Names of cities within the Swedish realm in the sixteenth and sevente­ enth centuries are given according to contemporary Swedish practice: thus I write Helsingfors instead of Helsinki, Reval instead of Tallinn, Dorpat instead ofTartu etc. Names of Swedish d ties that were Danish before 1658, like Malmö, are narned in Swedish. 9 PROLOG DE At the End ofTime And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring [ ... ]And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

  • Armorial of Swedish Commoners (A-C)
    1 Armorial of Swedish Commoners (A-C) INTRODUCTION: From 1600 - and 1700s encountered very often commoner weapons in the seal which belonged to the clergy, military officers, government officials, civil servants, citizens and the like. Most often, the so-called Commoners gentry, but weapons also exist among farmers. The amount of weapons is exuberant and for the most part unexplored. Only random (two or three journal articles) have the immense cultural treasure of the elderly Gentile family crest been featured in the literature, so here below are the archives of the findings in this manner are brought together to facilitate research and increase knowledge of these weapons existence. Unless otherwise indicated, the evidence made by me in connection with various heraldic and genealogical investigations. Most often, the source of a wax seal impressions, because the seals often were engraved with the family crest. With little genealogy is a great probability that in a specific family can seek out the seal in such letters, accounts, documents received, estate inventories ... Many of the following families are extinct, but in the event that a family survive as the weapon can always come back into favor. As a rule, tinctures (colors) unknown, why they need to be reconstructed. Read more about the so-called heraldisering. Weapons withdrawn into service transferred from this list to the list. Some Sigill owners belong to foreign-derived noble families or patriciersläkter whose possible noble status is unclear. For the sake of clarification are part of such weapons in this list, ie those weapons that are not readily available in the literature.

Cronstedt i Gävle jämte de inkomna svaren från Hälsingland. Hösten 1960 publicerade jag dessa "sockenbeskrivningar" utförda av präster och läns• män i Kungl. Gustav Adolfs Akademiens Acta-serie. I en efterskrift redogör jag ingående för frågelistans bakgrund och tillkomst. Medan materialet från Hälsingland förblev outnyttjat av Cronstedt hade den kände köpmannen och topografen Abraham Hi.ilphers fått använda svaren från Gästrikland för den landskapsbeskrivning som han var i färd med att utarbeta och som utkom 1793 (jfr Karl Hedlund, Hi.ilphers beskrivning över Gästrikland 1793. Källorna och utformningen, i: Från Gästrikland 1960). Svaren från Gästrikland ingår bland Hi.ilphers papper i f.d. Stifts- och landsbiblioteket i Västerås. Hi.ilphers har visserligen utnyttjat delar av svaren i sin tryckta beskrivning, men inte uttömt dem. En utgåva motsvarande den jag gjorde för Hälsinglands del var motiverad såväl ur källkritisk synpunkt som för att göra uppgifterna jämförbara med svaren från Hälsingland.

  • Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery
    Creating Holy People and People Places Holy on theCreating Periphery Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery A Study of the Emergence of Cults of Native Saints in the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Lund and Uppsala from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries During the medieval period, the introduction of a new belief system brought profound societal change to Scandinavia. One of the elements of this new religion was the cult of saints. This thesis examines the emergence of new cults of saints native to the region that became the ecclesiastical provinces of Lund and Uppsala in the twelfth century. The study examines theearliest, extant evidence for these cults, in particular that found in liturgical fragments. By analyzing and then comparing the relationship that each native saint’s cult had to the Christianization, the study reveals a mutually beneficial bond between these cults and a newly emerging Christian society.

  • Mia Korpiola
    Marrying Off Sons and Daughters: Attitudes towards the Consent of Parents and Guardians in Early Modern Sweden by Mia Korpiola Introduction Curate Samuel Josephi Lithovius1 of Limingå (Liminka) in Ostrobothnia was one of the six representatives of the clergy of the diocese of Åbo (Turku) at the diet of Stockholm in 1647. At the diet, however, he was accused by his fellow clergymen of having performed an irregular solemnization (på oordentligit wijs - - hadhe sammanwigdt) at the manor of Åhrsta outside the city of Stockholm. By doing this, he had usurped the authority of another priest and ‘confirmed the madness (galenskap) and disorder with which the parties had commenced their marriage’ for a sum of money. By his actions, he had compromised the whole estate (uppålagdt heela ministerio - - een elack notam).2 The couple, Johan Mejer and Dordi, daughter of Jacob Skinnare, had married without the consent of the bride’s father, who was wholly against the union. The priest claimed that he had been told that the father had originally been against the marriage and attempted to force his daughter to wed another man. Lithovius further alleged that according to his information, Jacob Skinnare had later relented, agreeing to the match with Mejer even if refusing to attend the ceremony himself. Samuel Josephi Lithovius was obviously quite aware of the irregularity of the marriage, although he attempted to put the blame on the false information of some of his friends, who had persuaded him to perform the solemnities. It seems, nonetheless, that he had tried to prevaricate by ingenious means, namely by sending a message to Jacob Skinnare that his daughter Dordi was going to be married to Johan Mejer on the following evening and, if the father refused to consent, he ought to keep her at home.

Det är nordens äldsta universitet och var vid tidpunkten världens nordligaste universitet. Domkyrkorna utbildade präster men för högre utbildningar var svenskar från 1200‐ talet och framåt tvungna att studera vid utländska universitet i till exempel Paris eller Rostock. Den starkast drivande kraften för bildandet av Uppsala universitet var Jakob Ulvsson som var Sveriges ärkebiskop mellan år 1469‐1515 och därmed den som innehaft ämbetet längst (46 år). Vid domkyrkan mot riddartorget finns en staty av Jakob Ulvsson av konstnären och skulptören Christian Eriksson. Statyns porträttlikhet med Ulvsson är förstås tvivelaktig eftersom man inte vet hur Jakob Ulvsson såg ut. Konstnären studerade i Paris tillsammans med Nathan Söderblom och det sägs att Eriksson hade honom som förebild för Ulvsson statyn och som därmed fick mycket lika ansiktsdrag som Söderblom. (Nathan Söderblom var ärkebiskop i Uppsala 1914‐ 1931, grundade den Ekumeniska rörelsen och fick Nobels fredspris 1930). Till en början bestod undervisningen vid Uppsala universitet främst av filosofi, juridik och teologi. Någon teknisk eller naturvetenskap utbildning fanns inte vid denna tidpunkt.
