This study investigates the pictorial world of the medieval Vadstena Abbey church. The interior of the church was filled with altars and images that had the three separated groups of viewers in mind: the 60 nuns, the 25 conventual brothers and the numerous pilgrims coming to visit the shrine of Saint Birgitta. The pilgrims faced a pictorial message where the role of saint Birgitta was emphasized, but still one among all the other saints. The images directed to the nuns and the brothers accentuated the role of the Virgin Mary as the exemplarily follower of Christ. Furthermore, all the church interior was furnished to enhance the position of the nuns, i.e. that this monastic foundation was made primarily for women. Birgittinerna och deras bilder lägger fram resultat från flera forskningsprojekt om det senmedeltida klostret i Vadstena av konstvetaren Eva Lindqvist Sandgren. Det presenterade materialet grundar sig på studier om nunnornas boktillverkning och deras textilproduktion, samt en undersökning av de skilda bildsfärer som olika kyrkobesökare/brukare kunde ta del av (eller var utestängda från) genom kyrkorummets uppdelning i tre tydligt separerade rumsliga enheter: nunnornas upphöjda och inhägnade korläktare, klosterbrödernas kor och läktargångar samt lekfolkets kringgärdade yta i mitten av det stora kyrkorummet. Författaren använder sig av ett material som spänner från stort till smått, från kyrkans kalkstensmurar och ända ned till stygnnivå i broderierna.

The current article is aimed to outline a first review of the solid relationship of Claudio Magris with the Nordic world, both from the perspective of his reception in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and from the study of his fecund encounter with the works of authors like Henrik Ibsen, Knut Hamsun, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Jens Peter Jacobsen, Herman Bang and others. These authors, whose works were partially translated by Magris, eventually played a meaningful role in his own writing. Besides affirming himself as a relevant voice in the Scandinavian context, his work as a mediator for Nordic literature has made him a reference point for Scandinavian studies in our country.
