Recension av Latin Letters from Clergymen in the Province of Scania in the Seventeenth Century

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

Johanna Svensson's Ph.D. dissertation provides editions and studies of sixty-four letters, twenty testimonials and four other documents in Latin, among them a long poetic lament on the Peace of Roskilde in 1658. All these documents are found in a seventeenth-century notebook kept in Lund University Library. The compiler was the vicar of Barkåkra, Frans Leche (1614?-1685), or perhaps his son. The documents give valuable insights into Church life in seventeenth-century Scania: practices in connection with baptisms, weddings etc.; the use of testimonials; and the education and ideals of Danish Lutheran clergymen. The editions are reliable and provided with English translations throughout. The author has a happy ability to understand the people she writes about and present them with sympathy, without becoming sentimental or subjective.
