The Centre for Medieval Studies Medieval Research: Past, Present, and Future Page 4 of 105 The Centre for Medieval Studies The Centre for Medieval Studies at Stockholm University was established 1 July 2008. The Centre encourages inter- and cross-disciplinary research and supports the integration of a range of perspectives, methods and theories across several academic disciplines. Research is focused mainly on medieval Europe, from late Antiquity to the early Renaissance, but other cultural regions are also considered within the given time framework. The Centre for Medieval Studies functions as an umbrella organization for a variety of disciplines, including Archaeology, Art History, Economic History, History, History of Religions, Human Geography, Literature, Music, Numismatics, Philosophy, Physical Geography, and Quaternary Geology; as well as a range of language departments, representing French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, and Scandinavian Languages. Events organised by the Centre include seminars, workshops, conferences and excursions led by researchers from Scandinavia and other countries; activities are planned and developed by individual researchers as well as by groups of researchers working in cooperation, and new events are constantly under development. The Centre for Medieval Studies cooperates with many institutions both within and outside of Sweden to plan and implement new research, and to provide courses with medieval themes. The Centre provides a 120-ECTS Master program in medieval studies. Medieval Research: Past, Present, and Future Interdisciplinary research in the field of Medieval Studies at Stockholm University began in the 1960s, when seminars were held with participants from the fields of Archaeology, History, Art History, and Human Geography. In the beginning of the 1970s they were accompanied by representatives from language departments, primarily from Scandinavian languages and Latin. At this early stage, close cooperation was also established with different scholarly institutions in Stockholm: an extensive foundation of knowledge and competence has been and continues to be the National Archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet); the National Heritage Board (Riksantikvarieämbetet); the National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket); and the Swedish National Land Survey (Lantmäteriet). Today the Centre also works together with the National Maritime Museums (Statens maritima museer), the National Historical Museums (Statens historiska museer), and the Stockholm County Museum (Stockholms läns museum). Today, advanced research takes place in several dozen subjects across Stockholm s academic institutions. There are about 15 PhD students and more than 40 postdoctoral and senior researchers and teachers within the field of medieval studies. The variety of subjects is very broad. Projects may address vocabulary in medieval languages; ideologies and political theories; the use of images and artefacts; the spoken language in fifteenth-century Stockholm; the analysis of archaeological artefacts and sites; perspectives on literary fiction; liturgical poetry; translations between different languages; theories about the nature of knowledge; ideological messages in chronicles; the relationship between the oral and written cultures; monastic discipline; jokes about the church; commissioners of art; the function of buildings; the compilation of manuscripts; as well as the resources of cultural landscapes and their use.

The Centre for Medieval Studies Board Page 5 of 105 Board At the end of 2016 the Centre for Medieval Studies had the following board: Director Professor Kurt Villads Jensen (Department of History) Secretary Dr. Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist (Department of History, Bolin Centre for Climate Research) Board members Chairman: Professor Anders Andrén (Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies) Professor Anders Cullhed (The Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, Department of Culture and Aesthetics) Professor Elisabeth Wåghäll Nivre (Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages, Finnish, Dutch and German) Associate professor Erika Kihlman (Department of Romance Studies and Classics) Associate professor Fredrik Svanberg (The Swedish History Museum) Dr. Mia Åkestam (Department of Culture and Aesthetics) Doctoral student Gwendolyne Knight Keimpema (Department of History) Board meetings The board held 29 meetings between 1 August 2008 and 31 December 2016 on the following dates.

The Centre for Medieval Studies Medeltidsrådet Page 6 of 105 Medeltidsrådet Since 1996, there has been an Advisory Board for Medieval Seminar that was renamed Medeltidsrådet (Medieval Council) when the Centre for Medieval Studies was established in 2008. It still has the responsibility to guide the focus of the program of Medieval Seminar. The council consists of representatives of those disciplines at Stockholm University in which medieval-related research is currently being carried out. It also includes representatives of the agencies and museums in Stockholm that are engaged in medieval-related activities. At the end of 2016 the Medeltidsrådet had the following composition: Rapporteur: Professor Kurt Villads Jensen (Department of History) Secretary: Dr. Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist (Department of History, Bolin Centre for Climate Research) Members: Professor Anders Andrén (Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies) Professor Anders Bengtsson (Department of Romance Studies and Classics) Professor Anders Cullhed (Department of Culture and Aesthetics) Professor Elisabeth Wåghäll Nivre (Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages, Finnish, Dutch and German) Professor Olof Sundqvist (Department of Ethnology, History of Religions and Gender Studies) Associate professor Björn Gunnarson (Department of Physical Geography) Associate professor Bo Franzén (Department of Economic History) Associate professor Claes Gejrot (the National Archives of Sweden) Associate professor Erika Kihlman (Department of Romance Studies and Classics) Associate professor Gabriela Bjarne Larsson (Department of History) Associate professor Magnus Källström (Swedish National Heritage Board) Antiquarian, Dr. Elisabeth Regner (Swedish History Museum) Dr. Johan Berg (Department of Human Geography) Dr. Jonatan Pettersson (Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism) Dr. Mia Åkestam (Department of Culture and Aesthetics) Doctoral student Gwendolyne Knight Keimpema (Department of History)

Activities Medieval Seminar (Medeltidsseminariet) Page 11 of 105 Activities The most visible activities of the Centre for Medieval Studies are the Medieval Seminar (Medeltidsseminariet), the Seminar for the Study of Old Texts (Äldretextseminariet), and the various conferences, workshops and excursions the Centre has arranged or has contributed to from 2008 to 2016. Medieval Seminar (Medeltidsseminariet) The Centre for Medieval Studies organises the interdisciplinary Medieval Seminar (Medeltidsseminariet) on a regular basis. It offers a platform for collaboration between different disciplines and gives an opportunity to present new publications, new projects, and work-inprogress papers. The speakers represent the different disciplines of medieval studies within the Centre. The medieval seminar also hosts lectures and seminars in which international visiting scholars present and discuss their research. The Medieval Seminars are mainly funded by the Faculty of Humanities. Seminars are open to the public, both academic and non-academic. Depending on the topic of the day, attendants consist of members of different departments of humanities from Stockholm University, external research institutes, and sometimes from Uppsala University. Seminars attract different kinds of audiences: researchers, doctoral students, master students and general public. The seminars are attended on average by 20 30 people. From 1 July 2008 until 31 December 2016 CMS hosted 113 seminars. 2016 2016-12-12 The Myths of St. Stephen of Hungary Nora Berend (University of Cambridge) 2016-11-28 Labour and Lovesickness in Medieval Mysticism 2016 20 2015 16 2014 8 2013 11 2012 13 2011 16 2010 14 2009 10 2008 5 Total 113 Virginia Langum (Umeå universitet & Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study, Uppsala) 2016-11-14 Was Muhammad the Antichrist?

Research projects 2008 2016 Research programs Page 22 of 105 Research projects 2008 2016 Research on the Middle Ages at Stockholm University ranges from the Viking Age to the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Research on medieval period has been focused on certain overarching themes that set historical phenomena in larger European contexts, where the dynamics between Sweden, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe has been central. Four themes emerge: 1) economic, material and environmental changes, 2) the emergence of politically demarcated territories, 3) the social significance of religions, ideologies and political culture 4) philology and linguistics of medieval languages, and 5) landscape, settlement and urbanisation in the Middle Ages. Much of the research takes place at the intersection of these themes. Senior researchers and doctoral students from several different disciplines at Stockholm University are affiliated to the Centre. The research topics are broad: linguistic studies on medieval translation practice, syntax, lexicography, palaeography and edition philology; literary and philosophical studies of medieval theories of fiction, prose and poetry, logic and theology; studies on medieval decorative arts and architecture; investigations of the medieval landscape, its organization and use of material resources; and historical studies on social and political thought, ideologies, economic and cultural history, manuscript contexts, crusades and climate research. The Centre has had a significant role in several successful grant applications, for instance as a participant in the St. Birgitta-project (p. 26), the project on Swedish Students at Foreign Universities (p. 23), and most recently in the Text till Tiden-project (p. 32). The Centre regularly advices individual researchers in planning and preparing grant applications. It is likely that being able to name the Centre as a strong and stable scholarly community where to place one s funding, has had a positive impact in many successful research grants. Other roles that the Centre has in the guidance of research activities include appointments to different boards and reference groups, e.g. appointments to TORA (Topografisk Register på Riksarkivet). The following research projects carried out by senior researchers have been reported to the Centre in 2008 2016: Research programs Programs initiated by the Centre for Medieval Studies Chess Allegories: The Swedish Schacktavelslek and its European Exemplars as Political Allegories (2005 2016) Financed by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). The project examined how chess allegories were used in the Middle Ages to put forward critical assessments of contemporary politics. The project analysed and compared allegories in German and Latin texts. The project collaborated with a group of scholars at Münster University, Germany, whose project director was Professor Volker Honemann, Germanic studies, Münster University. The international workshops that were arranged as part of the project resulted in a collaborative book. Also international student exchange was organized within the framework of the project.

Swedish Students at Foreign Universities in the Middle Ages (2008 ongoing) Financed by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, the Torsten och Ragnar Söderberg Foundation, the Åke Wiberg Foundation, the Granholm Foundation, the Gad Rausing Foundation and the Axelsson Johnson Foundation. This interdisciplinary project investigates the academic achievements by Swedish students and teachers at foreign universities and their impact on society when returning to Sweden from their studies abroad. The project is interested in shedding light on the societal origins of Swedish students, their subsequent careers, their inventories of books, and academic positions. The project has so far arranged several workshops abroad, including workshops in Paris (2009), Berlin (2010) and Wien (2012), and has resulted in a number of collaborative publications.

East West: Criticism Passed on Organized Religion in Medieval Persia and Western Europe (2009 ongoing) Financed by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. The approach of the project is interdisciplinary and comparative. The aim is to determine similarities and differences between two established religions of the High and Late Middle Ages, Christianity and Islam. The project focuses on analysing well-articulated criticism in the form of satire that was targeted at these religions. In its comparative analysis of medieval concepts, the project applies the philosophical theory of thick and thin concepts. Two international workshops have been arranged within the framework of the project.

Stockholm och dess omgivningar under medeltiden (Stockholm and its Surroundings in the Middle Ages) (2011 ongoing) Financed by The Berit Wallenberg Foundation. The project examines the development of Stockholm city and its interrelationship to its surroundings. The project approaches the issue not only from an economic point of view, but also from a political one. Stockholm became the Capital of Sweden in the Late Middle Ages, and this growing importance and its impact in the surrounding landscape is of interest in the project. Three archaeological excavations have been conducted at Hammersta and Årsta in Södertörn in cooperation with the relevant authorities and the Department of Archaeology at Stockholm University. The project is a collaboration between the Centre for Medieval Studies, the National Heritage Board, the National Archives of Sweden, Stockholm County Museum, Stockholm County Administrative Board, and the Medieval Museum of Stockholm.

The project examines the sponsors of medieval churches in Uppland, and questions the old hypothesis that they were built and sponsored by the peasants of the parish. The project is interdisciplinary, integrating perspectives from Human Geography, Art History, and Liturgical studies.

Att tillgängliggöra heliga Birgittas fornsvenska texter (Birgitta of Sweden Digitally: Making St Birgitta s Revelations in Old Swedish Accessible), and hosted at the Department of Scandinavian Languages, Uppsala University. Financed by the Centre for Medieval Studies, Stockholm University, the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (RJ), Thora Olssons stiftelse, the Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, the Foundation Pro Fide et Christianismo & Åke Bonnier. The project aims to present a modern version of the Revelations of St. Birgitta. The text was previously published in the mid-nineteenth century by G. E. Klemming, but the edition is now widely regarded as outdated and in need of revision.

Research projects 2008 2016 Research programs Page 27 of 105 The new edition will take into account the entire extant manuscript material, including all the fragments. All these textual witnesses will be accurately transcribed and compared with each other. With the help of the results that such a collation gives, we can draw more precise conclusions about the production of the texts, their relationship to the Latin version, and the ways language and style were used to adapt the contents of the vernacular text for different categories of readers. An important distinction here is between those manuscripts that were intended for internal use in Vadstena, and those produced for the worldly, often aristocratic, environments.
