  • Conceptions of Holiness in the Lutheran Countries, C. 1550-1700*
    Conceptions of Holiness in the Lutheran Countries, c. 1550-1700* by Jürgen Beyer When considering the impact of the Lutheran Reformation on the issue of ho- liness, most readers will view the influence of the Reformation as negative, resulting in the abolition of the cult of saints. The Reformers' emphasis on the Christian's personal need of grace and faith is generally thought to have made saints superfluous as mediators and as models of good works and holiness. However, as I shall attempt to show, holiness remained an important issue after the Reformation, though the meaning of the word was altered in some important respects. The English language has a large number of terms related to the concept of holi- ness: sacrality, sacredness, sainthood, saintliness, sanctimony, sanctitude and sancti- ty. Though these words suggest a variety of perspectives to be studied, they also overlap to a large degree. Therefore I shall in the following speak of holiness which seems to be the most general of these terms.1 Holiness is a central notion in the comparative study of religion. Some religions do not have a conception of God, but in all religions there is a distinction between holy and profane. If a religion recognizes a god or gods, then things holy are related to the godhead. Moral perfection, however, seems originally not to have been a necessary quality of the holy.2 So far, there seems to be agreement among students of religion, but this consensus ends quickly when the phenomenon holiness is to be interpreted. My aims, as an historian and a folklorist, are much more modest.

The supervisors were Jürgen Sarnowsky (University of Hamburg) as primary and Carsten Jahnke (University of Copenhagen) as secondary. The work you are reading now is a slightly revised version of this thesis, with minor points added or corrected, and an updated bibliography. However, the publication of this book marks only the end of a process that was set in course long before I started to work on the subject. At an interdisciplin- ary conference about the medieval North Atlantic trade in Avaldsnes, Norway, in 2013, the idea came up that it would be good if someone would compile an exten- sive overview of the German trade with the North Atlantic, based on historical written sources.

The Volsungasaga is of course well known, but with this * exception the Stories of Icelanders,' and the 'Stories of the Kings of Norway' are probably the only sagas familiar to the majority of English readers. Of the four sagas contained in this volume only one the Thdttr of Sorli has appeared in English before, though the poetry which they contain has frequently been translated, from the time of Hickes's Thesaurus (1705). So far as I am' aware "no version of any of the Faroese ballads has appeared in English. Out of the great number which were collected during the i8th and rothS centuries L'-have chosen a few which deal with the same stories as the sagas translated here; and for purposes of comparison I have added a short extract from one of the Icelandic Rimur, as well as a Danish ballad and part of the Shetland Hildina. In accordance with general custom in works of this kind I have discarded the use of accents, un- familiar symbols, etc., except in a few Norse words which can hardly be anglicised.

(Translated by Mrs. A. S. Hatcher, U.S. Public Heal th Service. ) When a physician is called to work in a place where climatic and dietetic conditions are different from those to which he has been accustomed, his first problem is to study the hygienic potentialities which affect the state of health of the inhabitants. It is, in fact, these hygienic conditions which contribute to- wards the development and frequency of some diseases and the improbability and rarity of others, and which more or less modify the symptoms of every disease; and it is, indeed, on these con- ditions that the geography of disease, the special study of which subject will soon, perhaps, elevate it to the status of an independent science, is based. Since the outbreak of the measles provided the occasion for my journey to the Faroe Islands, it is natural that I directed my attention at once to the influence which the extremely peculiar hygienic conditions of the islands exerted upon this disease, and vice versa . But, since, during my sojourn of al- most five months on the Faroes I repeatedly traveled over the greater part of the islands, I was thus in a situation to make a great many observations in regard to the influence of the special hygienic conditions upon the state of health in general, as well as upon the frequency and development of the prevailing disease.
