Studies in Upplandic Runography
Studies in Upplandic Runography is a detailed treatment of the runic inscriptions from the province of Uppland, Sweden, where runic art reached a high point in A.D. 1200 and where runic inscriptions are most numerous. Most of the runic monuments discussed are from the eleventh century, an important period when Sweden was making the transition from paganism to Christianity. The names of nearly fifty rune-carvers (runographers), professional and amateur, are known. However, many of the inscriptions were left unsigned. Claiborne Thompson examines the major problem of how an unsigned inscription is attributed to a known carver. Since each carver had a distinctive style which must be delineated, ...

Von der Chronistik zur modernen Geschichtswissenschaft
Die Frage nach den slavischen oder normannischen Wurzeln des altrussischen Staates ist seit dem 18. Jahrhundert ein Politikum ersten Ranges in den Beziehungen zwischen der deutschen, skandinavischen und russischen Historiographie, stossen hier doch Uberlegenheitsgefuhle auf der einen Seite und gewisse Minderwertigkeitskomplexe auf der anderen Seite zusammen. Dabei steht der Konflikt am Anfang der Ablosung der Geschichte als Wissenschaft vom religiosen Weltbild, von antikisierender Gelehrsamkeit und von politischen Legitimationsinteressen. Die Berliner Dissertation untersucht gerade diesen Aspekt, also die Vorgeschichte des Normannismusstreits. Erstmals werden dabei die deutsche, schwedische und russische Tradition zusammen betrachtet.
Odins Imperium: Der Rudbeckianismus als Paradigma an den skandinavischen Universitäten (1680–1860) (2 vols.)
From a modern point of view, the four volumes of the Atlantica of Olaus Rudbeck the elder (1630-1702) seem to be not only the climax of Gothicism, but a key example of an early modern polymath. In Odins Imperium Bernd Roling reconstructs Rudbeck’s immense influence at Scandinavian universities, the debates he provoked, his manifold reception in early modern academic culture and the role Rudbeckianism played as paradigm of science until the Swedish romanticism of the 19th century. Taking into account all branches of science, Bernd Roling illustrates in detail Rudbeck’s majestic impact on antiquarianism, national mythology, and also on religious sciences and linguistics, but also documents the massive criticism the scholar from Uppsala received almost immediately.
