How to Become a Perfect Danish-Estonian Historian: Homage to Vello Helk How to Become a Perfect Danish-Estonian Historian: Homage to Vello Helk Jaan Undusk 1 The Man and His Career This is a simple story about a Danish historian of Estonian origin, Vello Helk, doctor honoris causa of the University of Tartu (1996). He was born in Varstu village in South Estonia on September 23, 1923 (his original family name being Hintervaldt until 1936), and he attended gymnasium in the local provincial centre, Võru, after which he was taken—like many other Estonians—into the German Army in 1944. After the Nazi capitulation, he left Germany for Denmark in 1945. From that time on he lived in Denmark, almost seventy years of his long life. Although he was nearly deaf for the last twenty-five years, he was still active as a publicist until recently, in the last years mainly as a reviewer and a political columnist in Estonian and Danish newspapers. He died on March 14, 2014, being ninety years old, on the Estonia’s Mother Tongue Day.1 Together with his wife, he is buried in Birkerød, near Copenhagen. Helk’s life story as a humanities scholar is not very typical for an Estonian of his generation abroad; on the other hand, one cannot deny in it some charac- teristic patterns of behaviour of an exile historian. The result has been, as sug- gested in the title of this essay, an almost perfect synthesis of Danish and Estonian inspirations. Vello Helk is exceptional also among the Estonian historians because of his memoirs that were published in thirteen parts in the historical journal Tuna (Tallinn) from 2002 to 2005.2 In addition I carried out written interview with him in November 2009, to clarify some details of his biography. After that, we were in electronic correspondence occasionally. Helk’s peculiarity consists in not writing in the published part of memoirs about his childhood in Estonia, about the days of war, and his joys and sorrows as a refugee—about all that which is the very stuff of most of the other autobi- ographies from that period (though he admits in a private letter, fragments of youth and war memoirs exist at least in manuscript). He informs us almost exclusively about his professional career in the Kingdom of Denmark. Obviously this is the part of his life of which he is proud of and which can be taken as a 1 Pillak, Küng and Ohmann, 2014. 2 Helk, 2002/2005. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���� | doi �0.��63/9789004�99696_0�3 <UN> How to Become a Perfect Danish-Estonian Historian 237 model of person-building in foreign surroundings after World War ii. He composes his life like a Bildungsroman in which the first quarter is absent. The memoirs, entitled programmatically “From student in exile to Danish archi- vist,” begin with Helk’s matriculating in the University of Århus in 1947, and then practically end when he retired in 1990. We are not given much informa- tion about his first years in Denmark as a refugee from the Baltic region. Helk begins with the moment when he steps across the threshold of the new society. His professional career was successful indeed. He became a Danish citizen already in 1954, while studying at the University of Århus. After working in archives in Århus and Odense from 1956 on, Helk became employed in the Danish National Archives in Copenhagen in 1959 and was promoted to one of the head archivists in 1970; during a short period between 1977 and 1978 he even rose to the position of Danish Deputy State Archivist (due to the fact that the elected State Archivist was ill); this made him the first man of his field for a while. He has been awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Dannebrog, a very high decoration. Although he did not become a university professor, a goal he did not entertain, he actually achieved much more; there are but a few persons of such an elevated responsibility in every country. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Vello Helk was the man who made a most brilliant offi- cial career among the Estonian historians abroad. Of course, the formal career is not the only reason to speak about Vello Helk. He is an almost ideal example of an historian working for several national his- tories simultaneously. There are people of Estonian origin in the wide world who write on Estonian and Baltic matters. And there are, of course, other his- torians of Estonian origin who are not professionals in Estonian history, having chosen to write on other historical topic. But there must be only very few among them who have contributed—on a high international level—to several national historiographies. Vello Helk is one of that rare breed. In the Festschrift on the occasion of his 75th birthday, the leading essay is correspondingly enti- tled “Vello Helk as a Danish and Estonian historian;”3 therein one can find a systematic overview of his life and work.4 In Denmark and for most of the international audience, Helk remains a Danish historian or, as some of his fellow countrymen in Denmark know, a Danish historian of Estonian origin. Helk has never concealed from his closest collaborators that his first homeland was Estonia and his mother tongue is Estonian. Although he had acquired a good command of Danish as a student already at the end of the 1940s, he has always been speaking Danish with a 3 Küng and Tering, 1999. 4 See also Piirimäe, 1996b; Küng and Tering, 1998; Helk, 2002/2005, xii: 116ff. <UN>.

The subject literature and archival sources available in Rome reveal that their arrival was aimed at the recatholicisation of Livonia un- dertaken by King Stefan Batory after his victorious wars with Russia. Regardless of the king’s obvious political goals, the Jesuits’ presence in the region was primarily linked with the evangelisation mission of the Order, whose tools included education, which, alongside direct pastoral work, was the leading form of its activity both in Livonia and elsewhere.

Publisher Link. © 2004 Institute of Jesuit Sources. - Eleven ANTONIO POSSEVINO From Secretary to Papal Legate in Sweden by John Patrick Donnelly, S.J. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND ew Jesuits knew Everard Mercurian or respected him as much as did Antonio Possevino, who served first as the former's secretary Fin France and later, for five years, as secretary of the Society in Rome during his generalate. Possevino wrote a short laudatory biogra­ phy of M ercurian that remains in manuscript along with other docu­ ments describing Mercurian's way of governing the Society.' Possevino was born at Mantua in 1533 and entered the Society on September 30, 1559. Already an established scholar, Possevino had served as tutor to two young Gonzaga princes, Francesco and Gianvincenzo, who later became cardinals. Two months after Possevi­ no had begun his novitiate in Rome, Father General Diego Lainez cut short his period of training and, taking advantage of his previous contacts with Duke Emanuele Filiberto, sent him to negotiate with the duke regarding Jesuit apostolates in Piedmont-Savoy. Two years later, Possevino went to France, where h e lived for a decade, became a skilled preacher, and served as rector at Avignon and Lyons.

  • Danish Post-Reformation Crusaders: Jerusalem and Crusading in Denmark C.1550–1650
    Janus Møller Jensen Chapter 11 Danish Post-Reformation Crusaders: Jerusalem and Crusading in Denmark c.1550–1650 This chapter investigates some of the motives of the Danish nobles who visited Jerusalem after the Reformation roughly in the period 1555–1650. It will demonstrate how several elements of the medieval crusade continued as part of the royal and na- tional ideology, as well as part of the ideals and religious life of Protestant knighthood. It analyses the travel accounts, crusade literature, knightly orders, and expressions of national crusading ideology, which form an important background and context for un- derstanding the continued travels of the nobility to Jerusalem. In 1684 the Danish statesman and jurist Peder Hansen Resen (1625–88) published Erik Krabbe’s(1510–64) sixteenth-century German translation of the old Danish law- collection Law of Jutland from the thirteenth century. In the preface he wrote about various subjects. Among others, he described how his brother, Dr Poul Resen (d. 1657), went on a journey to Constantinople and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. When he reached the Franciscan monastery on Mount Zion, he was very well received and the monks played music for him. They believed him to be fond of music because he carried a fiddle with him. In the evening, when Poul Resen went to bed, he was placed in a room on the door of which was carved four letters and then “Ottho Schram Danus 1599.” Poul Resen had promised to write more of this when he reached Cairo, but un- fortunately, he died on the way from the Holy Sepulchre to Cairo in 1657.

  • The First Year of the Academia Gustaviana Print Shop As Seen Through the History of Paper
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2014, 1 (147), 85–114 The first year of the Academia Gustaviana print shop as seen through the history of paper Anu Lepp Abstract Watermarks and paper evidence are useful tools for researching manuscripts as well as printed books on paper, and not only for dating and identifying au- thenticity, but for studying the history of documents and printed books as ma- terial objects themselves. Th e present paper is based on the publications print- ed in Tartu in 1632, the fi rst year of operation of the Swedish-era University of Tartu print shop, and the paper used in them. Th e purpose is to study the wa- termarks gathered from all survived copies of publications deposited in Esto- nia, to discuss the possible origins of the paper and the principles for its acqui- sition and use, and to draw some conclusions concerning general conditions of printing and the printer’ personal contacts and preferences during the early days of the print shop. Keywords: 17th century, Livonia, University of Tartu, printing history, hand- made ragpaper, watermarks In terms of printing activity, not only the content of the completed prod- ucts resulting from printing should be considered but also the products or publications as a whole. Expanding the apposite term “the archaeology of a publication” (Archäologie des gedruckten Buches)1 coined by the German Th is article has been completed within the framework of ETF grant no. 8205 Watermarks and the history of paper in early modern Estonia and relies on the work done together with Meelis Friedenthal and Janet Laidla in ascertaining publications, photographing watermarks and compiling a database of the corresponding content entitled Early Esto- nian Printings [henceforth EEP], see <http://paber.ut.ee/EN/vesimargid/> [accessed 7 February 2014].

The emergence of seventeenth- century Jesuit theatre innovations in eighteenth-century Benedictine and Augustinian school theatrical productions validates this conclusion and reveals a conduit of influence not previously articulated. While previous comparisons of Jesuit theatre main title dramas and Oratorian oratorios do not reveal a relationship, a comparative examination of the musical prologues and choruses performed within Jesuit theatrical productions and the musical works performed in the services of the Congregation of the Oratory over the period c.1550–c.1660 shows a parallel progression of development; the development of the oratorio in the oratories of the Congregation is a further demonstration of Jesuit influence during this time period. The friendship of Ignatius Loyola and Filippo Neri matured into a close relationship between the musical activities of the Society of Jesus and the Congregation of the Oratory during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
