Olof Rudbeck der Jüngere (1660-1740) führt die Vision seines Vaters auf sprachlicher Ebene fort. Seine etymologischen Spekulationen nehmen eine Eigendynamik an, die letztlich zu einer Synthese aus gotizistischem und orthodoxem Sprachverständnis führt. Die Etymologie wird von einem bloßen Werkzeug häufig selbst zum Objekt der Fragestellungen. Untersucht werden die genauen Verfahren, die Rudbeck zur Begründung der von ihm postulierten sprachlichen Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse anwendet. So zieht er in seinen Etymologien phonologische, aber auch morphologische Argumente heran. Im Bereich der Phonologie etwa gibt es eine Systematik von Lautpermutationen. Durch seine spezifische Methodik gelingt Rudbeck dem Jüngeren eine sprachliche Transformation nicht nur der biblischen Antike, sondern auch des Schwedischen selbst, das als Hilfssprache eine Schlüsselstellung für die Bibelexegese einnehmen konnte. The etymological speculations of Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660-1740) lead to a synthesis of Gothicist and Orthodox understandings of language. This volume investigates the precise nature of the kinship between languages that he postulated. Rudbeck's unique methodology allowed him to accomplish a linguistic transformation not only of Biblical antiquity, but also of the Swedish language.

For a long time studies on northern antiquarianism have focused on individual nations. This volume introduces this phenomenon in a transnational perspective. In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, the Baltic Sea was at the centre of a culture of debate, whose networks encompassed numerous European centres of learning. When the countries around the Baltic began to explore their own antiquities in this period, the prevailing climate of competition between Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the German countries soon permeated the construction and presentation of their own pasts. Exploring the ancient literatures and monuments of Iceland, Sweden or Denmark, studying runic writings or the Sami tradition, the northern scholars were establishing an individual architecture of history, and so extending the horizon of their emerging nations both geographically and historically. The contributions in this volume provide case studies illustrating the role that scholarship, art and literature played in establishing and maintaining national claims around the Baltic Sea. The variety of methods combined for this purpose makes this book of interest to intellectual historians as well as historians of art and early modern science.

With its expanding legal system and its burgeoning throngs of lawyers, legates, and documents, the papacy of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries has often been credited with spearheading a governmental revolution that molded the high medieval church into an increasingly disciplined, uniform, and machine-like institution. Reimagining Christendom offers a fresh appraisal of these developments from a surprising and distinctive vantage point. Tracing the web of textual ties that connected the northern fringes of Europe to the Roman see, Joel D. Anderson explores the ways in which Norse writers recruited, refashioned, and repurposed the legal principles and official documents of the Roman church for their own ends.Drawing on little-known vernacular sagas, Reimagining Christendom is populated with tales of married bishops, fictitious and forged papal bulls, and imagined canon law proceedings. These narratives, Anderson argues, demonstrate how Norse writers adapted and reconfigured the institutional power of the church in order to legitimize some of the thoroughly abnormal practices of their native bishops. In the process, Icelandic clerics constructed their own visions of ecclesiastical order—visions that underscore the thoroughly malleable character of the Roman church’s text-based government and that articulate diverse ways of belonging to the far-flung imagined community of high medieval Christendom.

Despite its enormous extent and impact, the Swedish scholarship produced in the context of Olof Rudbeck's monumental 'Atlantica' (4 vols, 1679-1702) has hitherto escaped attention outside Scandinavia. The present volume explores the numerous disciplines that comprised this, one of the last, but grandest appropriations of the classical heritage in early modern times. In the decades around 1700, dozens of scholars all around the Baltic Sea embarked on studies of classical and Norse mythology, material remains and antiquities, of languages, botany and zoology as well as biblical scholarship, in order to reveal the primordial status of ancient Sweden. Fusing together numerous disciplines within Rudbeck's elaborate and all-encompassing epistemological framework, they gave to a nation that had advanced to the rank of a European superpower a narrative of a glorious past that matched its contemporary pretentions. Presenting case studies stretching from the 17th to the 19th century and across a wide number of fields, this volume traces the extent and longue durée of one of the most fascinating and underestimated episodes in European intellectual history.
