Sveriges kartor och lantmätare 1628 till 1680 : från idé till tolvtusen kartor
- 2021
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I april 1628 gav Gustav II Adolf i uppdrag till Anders Bure, nyutnämnd generalmatematiker, att genomföra en systematisk storskalig kartering av hela det dåvarande Sverige. Under två decennier utbildades en kår av statliga lantmätare och ett unikt arbete med att kartera den svenska landsbygden inleddes. Tack vare stormaktstidens arkivhållning och senare tiders lantmäteri har kartmaterialet bevarats – ensamt i sitt slag i världen. För första gången kan vi nu följa lantmätarnas idoga arbete och karteringens utveckling över tid. I de storskaliga kartorna framträder en detaljrik bild av landskapet, markanvändningen och olika slags bebyggelser och anläggningar i stormaktstidens Sverige.

Den höviska kulturen i Norden : En konsthistorisk undersökning
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis traces the influence of the continental court society and the concepts of courtliness, chivalry and knighthood on Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the High and Late Middle Ages (c. 1150-1520). Although many of the art objects and texts here discussed are well-known, a comparative study of this kind has hitherto never been attempted. The material presented ranges from castles and palaces, decorated with sculpture, wall paintings and tiles, to tomb sculpture, seals, donor pictures, textiles and small precious objects of ivory, gold and silver. Many of the artefacts are of foreign origin and some of them are also decorated with courtly motifs, e.g. knights, ladies, tournaments, falconers, dancers, musicians and heraldic coats of arms. Since the courtly ideals reached the Scandinavian countries from abroad, the diplomatic and dynastic contacts with Germany, France and England are here emphasized. The importance of the continental court culture is also evident in the written sources, e.g. inventories, household accounts, wills, sagas, mirrors of princes and chronicles. Another interesting phenomenon here examined is the court criticism that can be found in the church art and the clerical literature of the period. Hence it can be stated that a court society and a concept of courtliness,based on French, British and German models, existed in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages, although the economic situation made the Scandinavian court culture comparatively less extravagant.

Kan man leva på en ödegård? Huvudgårdar, landbotorp och odlingssystem under medeltid i Lägerbobygden, Östergötland
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Is it possible to survive on a deserted farm: Manors, tenants and farming systems during the Middle Ages in the Lägerbo area, Östergötland. This study approaches the late medieval farm desertion from a landscape perspective. It focuses on the area of a former medieval estate in southern Östergötland, Sweden. Based on a retrogressive analysis of cadastral maps and historical records the medieval settlement is reconstructed. In this process three formerly unknown deserted farms were identified, with abandoned field systems and building remains. The volume provides the archaeological documentation of field systems and settlements at these sites. These data provide the background for investigating the shifting social and ecological circumstances that once made it possible for tenant families to survive on these farms. During the height of the manorial system the small farms were specialised units in a redistributive system. In the late 14th century the estate and all tenant farms were donated to the convents of Vadstena and Vreta. Rents were no longer paid in labour but in butter. In the fifteenth century several farms were abandoned and turned into meadows under the surviving farms. The new tenurial relations prevented the recolonization of the farms. The study is the result of an interdisciplinary project involving medieval archaeology, historical geography, palynology and medieval history.

När medeltidens sol gått ned : debatten om byggnadsvård i England, Frankrike och Tyskland 1815-1914
- 1992
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most medieval buildings of importance were repaired, reconstructed or rebuilt according to a number of different theories. Those theories, their origin, development, and transformation within different schools are studied. Their relationship to cultural, political and religious circumstances, and to the question of whether the period had a distinct style of its own, is discussed. This thesis proves that the formation of principles culminated in the 1840s in all the countries concerned, in connection with extensive restoration enterprises. The fundamental rules, drafted as early as the 18th century, were developed along two lines, an antiquarian-orientated theory which sought to preserve buildings in the condition which time had bestowed on them, and the norms of unity of style which aimed at restoring monuments to their former glory. Both lines emerged so early that they must be considered to be independent courses, not the one an answer to the other. The antiquarian view was often advocated by personalities in literature and general culture, the unity of style by architects. A restoration rhetoric developed about restraint and respect for what was genuine, at the same time as the architects took more and more liberties. The restoration movement was united with the Romantic and neo-Gothic currents and consequently of international character. The arguments wandered across the borders, and the parties involved corresponded, contributed to each other’s periodicals and visited each other. A limited number of arguments were repeated over a long period of time. Some were associated with a certain school, others turned up in different camps. Few of the best-known old texts about the care of monuments broke new ground: the real pioneers were in many cases less well known, and are introduced in this survey.

Magnus Gabriel De la Gardies Venngarn : Herresätet som byggnadsverk och spegelbild
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Starting in about 1640, Sweden experienced a building boom among the nobility lasting up to 1680, when Charles XI initiated a massive withdrawal of Crown fiefs. Based on contemporary Swedish sources, the strategies and ideology behind these large new houses are discussed in connection with questions concerning visual identity – corporate as well as individual. Opinions held in the Swedish debate are compared with the characteristics described by Volker Bauer in his analysis of competing German court ideal types, and are found strikingly reminiscent. This approach constitutes the framework for a close examination of Venngarn, one of Count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie´s country houses, rebuilt and considerably enlarged from 1661 and onwards. De la Gardie was Rikskansler, Chancellor of the Realm, a dominating magnate and one of Sweden´s most eager building patrons. The remodelling of Venngarn was begun at a time when major works were in progress at five other estates, at the palace in Stockholm and his father´s burial chapel. Other projects were to follow suite. At Venngarn the idea of an ideal correspondence between the level of Magnificentia and the individual´s station is expressed by a systematic gradation of the apartments. Another court ideal, that of the prince (or aristocrat) as a disciple of the Muses, was just as befitting an attribute. The most telling example is the 'learned' décor of the chapel. More than fifty emblems, parables and devotional subjects are found to be organized according to a comprehensive programme, combining important tendencies in contemporary Lutheran spirituality, on the one hand themes from Johann Arndt, on the other the dogma of Ordo salutis. A more mundane aspect of aristocratic behaviour was villeggiatura, or the preference for temporary retreats from urban life and public affairs. De la Gardie has left several drafts defining the weekly round of a country life and aiming at an otium, as recommended by Seneca, Cicero and the neo-Stoics. Several circumstances indicate that De la Gardie considered this a component of a true statesman´s life and that Venngarn and his other country houses were to serve such a purpose.In these and other ways, De la Gardie could be said to have arranged the house at Venngarn as an ideal mirror image of his persona, an image that would testify to his greatness and further his reputation.
