Sources of the First Printed Scandinavian Runes

Proceedings of the Eighth International Symposium on Runes and Runic Inscriptions, Nyköping, Sweden, 2–6 September 2014. Ed. by MacLeod, Mindy, Marco Bianchi and Henrik Williams. Uppsala. (Runrön 24.) Pp. 81–93. DOI: 10.33063/diva-438869 © 2021 Andreas Fischnaller (CC BY) ANDREAS FISCHNALLER Sources of the First Printed Scandinavian Runes Abstract The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the sources that were used for the first printed Scandinavian runes. These runes appear in works published in Italy between 1539 and 1555 either by or in connection with Johannes and Olaus Magnus. The books and the information about runes and runic inscriptions they contain are presented first. A closer look is then taken at the shapes of the runes used and at the roman letters they represent according to the books. It will be shown that these runes and their sound values can in part be traced back to a mediaeval runic tradition, while others were created to provide at least one rune for every roman letter. The forms of the newly “invented” runes can be explained to some extent by the influence of the shape of the roman letters they represent, whereas others were taken from a source that contained runes but did not provide any information about their sound values, namely the runic calendars. Keywords: Olaus Magnus, Theseus Ambrosius, Bent Bille, Renaissance, printed runes, q-rune, x-rune, belgþór-rune Introduction Work with post-reformation runic inscriptions has long been a neglected area of runology.1 A glance through the most common introductions to the study of runes reveals our lack of certainty as regards when runes stopped being used and how knowledge of runes was preserved (cf. -

Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572). -

Nationalism and Historicity
Nations and Nationalism 3 (l), 1997, 3-23. 0 ASEN 1997 Nationalism and historicity PATRIK HALL Department of Political Science, Lund University, Box 52, S-221 00, Sweden ABSTRACT. In this article the nation is shown to be a historical subject. As such, it is constructed and constantly reconstructed by discursive practices of power and knowledge. The author argues that the symbiotic interlinkage between nationalism and the organising knowledge principle of historicity, is an example of a power practice in the modern state. Throughout the article, it is shown that this practice is produced by interaction between the institutionally represented, sovereign or objective state and intellectual knowledge and its institutionalisation within the state as an academy, which acquires sovereignty in the production of objective truth. This peculiar discursive representation of making what really is personal interactions and struggles into official institutions has managed to produce the subject of the historical nation. The empirical case of Sweden is briefly discussed. During the age of great power, an exclusivist discourse of noble genealogical distinction of the ‘Goths’ was established. In modem Sweden, this genealogical myth is transformed to a popular- national myth of exclusivity, a myth with great power potentials in the ‘national projects’ of modem politics. Introduction The aim of this article is to discuss nationalism and historicity as they are seen as having entered into a symbiotic relationship (which appears ‘natural’), in which they are simultaneously shaping and being shaped by different practices of power and knowledge. The article intends to show that the nation is not a historical subject, but instead a social relation of power and knowledge. -
Illustrating Regal Traits in Johannes Magnus' Historia De Omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque Regibus
ISSN 0258-0802. LITERATŪRA 2017 59 (3) DOI: https://doi.org/10.15388/Litera.2017.3.11834 LIONS, HARES, AND DONKEYS: ILLUSTRATING REGAL TRAITS IN JOHANNES MAGNUS’ HISTORIA DE OMNIBUS GOTHORUM SUEONUMQUE REGIBUS (1554) Astrid M. H. Nilsson Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Abstract. Johannes Magnus (1488–1544) was the last Catholic archbishop of Uppsala to hold resi- dence in Sweden. He was also an historian and wrote a major work on Swedish history, the Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus, which was published posthumously in Rome in 1554. The work eventually became the ideological foundation for Swedish patriotism in the 17th century. The Historia de regibus places a very strong focus on the monarchs: the work is actually arranged as a series of royal biographies. Imagery is rare in Johannes Magnus’ work, which makes it especially striking when it does occur and also suggests that it is important. He sometimes refers to the animal kingdom to illustrate character traits and actions of the monarchs. In this paper, this animal imagery is analyzed and contextualized in order to explain its implications. Keywords: historiography, Johannes Magnus, animal imagery, kings, tyrants, vice, virtue.

Olaus Magnus, Cervantes, and a World of Marvels
Olaus Magnus, Cervantes, and a World of Marvels _______________________________________Ted L. L. Bergman hen Cervantes scholars cite geographic and proto-an- thropological sources for Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda, they often mention Olaus Magnus and his Historia de WGentibus Septentrionalibus (A Description of the Northern Peoples) from 1555.1 Because the Swedish archbishop was one of the foremost authori- ties on the subject during Cervantes’s time, it is easy to see why he continues to be repeatedly cited by modern scholars. As an avid reader of many distinct genres, Cervantes gleefully mixed sources together in his literary creations, and modern references to Olaus Magnus are mostly used to signal the blending of perceived fact with more fantastic elements that beggar belief. Cervantistas often imply that the archbish- op’s accounts are employed to draw a fctional setting out of the realm of pure fantasy. In their references to the source, the Spanish author makes his move towards verisimilitude by replacing classical references whose veracity have been questioned over the centuries. In this way, Cervantes places the septentrión into a more believable space that will not run afoul of his readers’ potential fact-checking habits, which were driven by a steady stream of frsthand accounts and were the product of the burgeoning age of exploration. While it is reasonable for us to treat Olaus Magnus mostly as a storehouse of facts, doing so has the potential to diminish the Swede’s role as a literary infuence and likewise play down the possibility that Cervantes appreciated both fantasy and realism in the same source ma- 1 I am grateful to Isabel Lozano Renieblas and Claudia Rossignoli for their feedback during the preparation of this article. -
