From being portrayed in the doctrine by the church father Augustine in the fourth and fifth centuries as a subordinate figure to the almighty God, with powers that were a mere illusion, the Devil slowly emerged from being an imaginary figure to become a creature whose spirit could occupy the human body and do evil things. Even though the theological directive of Canon Episcopi, disseminated from the tenth century onwards, to a certain degree followed Augustine, the Devil acquired a more ambiguous position which opened for further developments: the Devil and the demons produced dia- bolic deceptions and illusions which deceived evil women into believing they could ride on animals at night. When Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century comments on the demon’s power in the doctrine commonly called “the absolute doctrine”, which was to be cited numerous times in later works on witchcraft, the Devil had developed from being primarily spiritual to be- ing a physical creature: “The Catholic learning explains that demons have the ability to harm by their actions and hinder sexual intercourse” (Baroja 1987:36).1 During the most intensive period of the witch hunts in Western Europe (1550–1700) the diabolical element served as one of the most cen- tral arguments in the burning of witches. The diabolic pact that was believed to have been made between the witch and the Devil so that the witch could obtain earthly fortune, wealth and powers provided the witch trials and the prosecutors with deadly ammunition. In Denmark, the theologian Niels Hemmingsen (1513–1600), who gained European attention and fame during his lifetime, summed up what would become the dominant view among in- tellectuals of the Devil’s position in Denmark-Norway in the following cen- 8 Ane Ohrvik tury when he proclaimed that “the Devil is behind” all sorts of magical prac- tice. In Admonitio de superstitionibus magicus vitandis, first published in 1575, he explained how human beings alone were not able to use magical powers and perform magical art; it was the Devil who helped in doing the magic work (Gilje 2003:202–205).2 While witchcraft beliefs, especially among the common people, did not end with the decline in witchcraft prosecutions in the eighteenth century it was, nevertheless, in part theologians and legal intellectuals who had occu- pied the same positions during the witch hunt who now raised doubts about the reality of witchcraft and the Devil’s power and existence that eventually drained the diabolical argument concerning witchcraft. As Robert Muchem- bled puts it in his comprehensive study of the history of the Devil, “The Eu- rope of Enlightenment, in contrast, saw the twilight of the devil and the re- treat of the horned Lucifer…” (Muchembled 2003:7). This brief presentation of the history of the Devil serves as a background to the “life” the Devil took on in the eighteenth century. While most theolo- gians and intellectuals spoke from new positions where the Devil was re- duced to superstitious beliefs among the peasants, the Devil was still very much alive and active, if we judge from the black books in Norway. In these writings, the Devil represents both a power that people had to protect them- selves from, and simultaneously a force to take advantage of and engage for personal purposes. How can the position of the Devil in the black books be understood? The article will start by contextualizing the Norwegian black book production before turning to a close reading of two types of texts in one particular black book; the paratexts that illuminate the writer’s interpre- tation of the knowledge presented in the book and the charms constituting the main content of the black book. Norwegian Black Books The rich collection of black books found in Norway testifies to a widespread and vibrant writing which continued to be produced throughout the early modern period and during most of the nineteenth century.3 Including advice and recipes on topics such as sickness in humans and livestock, how to achieve luck in love, hunting, battles, games and trials, how to prepare do- mestic articles such as ink, paint and salmiac, and how to protect the house- hold against witches and bewitchment, the books are rich sources for a va- riety of topics; book history and manuscript culture, early modern medical practices and beliefs, practical knowledge in general, and witchcraft beliefs. The strong influence of magical-religious beliefs and practices in the books was also the main reason for the earliest studies of these manuscripts con- ducted by the Norwegian Church historian Anton C. Bang (1840–1913) (see Bang 1890, 1901). In the early twentieth century, the Nordic counterparts of “… For All Honest Christian and Science-Loving Readers” 9 these books (Danish

    Ilmari Krohn and the Early French Contacts of Finnish Musicology: Mobility, Networking and Interaction1 Helena Tyrväinen

    Ilmari Krohn and the Early French Contacts of Finnish Musicology: Mobility, Networking and Interaction1 Helena Tyrväinen Abstract Conceived in memory of the late Professor of Musicology of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Urve Lippus (1950–2015) and to honour her contribution to music history research, the article analyses transcultural relations and the role of cultural capitals in the discipline during its early phase in the uni- versity context. The focus is on the early French contacts of the founder of institutional Finnish musicology, the Uni- versity of Helsinki Professor Ilmari Krohn (1867–1960) and his pupils. The analysis of Krohn’s mobility, networking and interaction is based on his correspondence and documentation concerning his early congress journeys to London (1891) and to Paris (1900). Two French correspondents stand out in this early phase of his career as a musicologist: Julien Tiersot in the area of comparative research on traditional music, and Georges Houdard in the field of Gregorian chant and neume notation. By World War I Krohn was quite well-read in French-language musicology. Paris served him also as a base for international networking more generally. Accomplished musicians, Krohn and his musicology students Armas Launis, Leevi Madetoja and Toivo Haapanen even had an artistic bond with French repertoires. My results contradict the claim that early Finnish musicology was exclusively the domain of German influences. In an article dedicated to the memory of Urve Lip- Academy of Music and Theatre, Urve considered pus, who was for many years Professor of Musicol- that a knowledge of the music history of Finland, ogy and director of the discipline at the Estonian as well as of the origins of music history writing Academy of Music and Theatre, it is appropriate in this neighbouring country, would be useful to to discuss international cooperation, mobility of Estonians.

  • OBITUARY It Is Announced with Deep Regret That Hakon Gruner-Nielsen

    OBITUARY It Is Announced with Deep Regret That Hakon Gruner-Nielsen

    62 INTERNATIONAL FOLK MUSIC JOURNAL OBITUARY H. GRUNER-NIELSEN It is announced with deep regret that Hakon Gruner-Nielsen, co-director of the Danish Folklore Collection, born 1881, died on February 24th, 1953. H. Gruner-Nielsen devoted his whole life to the study of folklore, especially Danish and Faeroese ballads and other songs, their texts and tunes. Having taken his degree at the University of Copenhagen, he immediately was appointed to the new Folklore Collection (1906), founded by Axel Olrik and others. In the field of text editing and investigation, Gruner-Nielsen was the pupil of Olrik, and he finished the standard ballad edition of Svend Grundtvig and Olrik, Danmarks gamle Folkeviser (I-IX, 1853-1923, and Appendix X). In the study of folk music he collaborated with Hjalmar Thuren, after whose untimely death (1912) Griiner- Nielsen was for many years the only qualified scholar of folk music. He published Faeroese tunes, collected by Thuren, older folklorists, and himself, and wrote mono­ graphs on this subject. Post-medieval Danish folk songs of different genres were published in exemplary editions, and in 1935, Gruner-Nielsen began the great melody edition of our ballads (Danmarks gamle Folkeviser, XI). This edition is a masterpiece of minute investigation and honest folkloristic editorial technique which, taking no liberties, publishes and comments on the material as it was taken down. Many students and scholars in Denmark and abroad have drawn from his in­ exhaustible helpfulness. His reserved but warmhearted personality will be sincerely missed. ERIK DAL-* GEORGE PULLEN JACKSON George Pullen Jackson (1874-1953), native of Maine, long resident in the South (where he accomplished his life work), was head of the Department of German at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee.

    Translations of Fairy Tales Between National Mobilization and Commodification German Children’S Literature in Nineteenth-Century Croatia

    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 117–132 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.005.0859 MARIJANA HAMeršak TRANSLATIONS OF FAIRY TALES BETWEEN NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AND COMMODIFICATION German Children’s Literature in Nineteenth-century Croatia Abstract: A brief overview of translation within folklore studies and children’s literature studies leads to the focal point of this article: nineteenth-century Croatian versions of German fairy tales. The analysis concentrates on the textual and paratextual features of the Croatian texts, their relationship to the source texts and their involvement in national integration. Moreover, they are examined as part of empirical research in the history of reading: children’s reception of German children’s books in nineteenth- century Croatia. Finally, they are discussed from the book history perspective: adoption of German children’s literature genres and publishing strategies in the field of nineteenth- century Croatian children’s literature. The discussion of these three aspects indicates that the appropriation of German fairy tales in nineteenth-century Croatian society followed various (oral, written, German-language, Croatian-language) routes and had different outcomes. The complexity of these processes reminds us that literature is not only a symbolic (written, textual), but also a material (reading, editing, publishing) enterprise. It also reminds us that children’s literature is entangled not only in concepts of childhood and literature, but also in other cultural concepts such as nation and class. Keywords: fairy tales, Croatian children’s literature, German children’s literature, translation, appropriation, nineteenth century, material book culture, nation, class Fairy tale scholarship has been interested in translations for a long time.

We are also offering four professional development sessions aimed specifically at early career researchers, along with an exciting evening social programme with a Beatles theme at the Hard Days Night Hotel, just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Cavern Club which will provide plenty of chance to network and meet other like-minded physiologists.
