Remembering the Dead and Reminding the Living: Blessing of the Corpse and Burial in Sixteenth-Century Sweden

Abstract The article shows how Swedish reformers – through the ordo for the blessing of the corpse and the funeral – introduced a new focus in relation to the medieval tradition: from the deceased to the living. The reformers rejected the medieval idea of purgatory and refused intercession and the celebration of Mass before funeral. Therefore, the relation between the living and the dead must have suffered and the living would no longer be reminded of those who departed to the same extent as before. Instead, according to the reformers, during the funeral service the living would be reminded of their own condition, their certain death and Christian hope. Sources from late sixteenth century which demonstrate prohibitions of certain customs emphasize that the Swedish Reformation did not mean a sudden break with earlier tradition and custom, but that it was a longue durée.

Public finance and the national economy in early sixteenth century Sweden

Abstract Sources in public archives for Swedish economic history over the last four centuries are more homogeneous, frequently more reliable and, in relation to the subjects treated, more abundant than those of most other countries. For the earlier centuries the reverse is true: source material for economic history is both scantier and less uniform, and the path to quantitative determination is longer and more difficult than in many other countries. Between the two periods the boundary runs, surprisingly sharp and clear, at about the year 1540 when Gustavus Vasa's national monarchy had been in existence for roughly two decades.
