Explore Sweden’s sacred rite through history and translation.
This nonfiction volume presents a clear window into the medieval and early modern mass as practiced in Sweden, drawing on missals, breviaries, and manuals preserved in Swedish and other libraries. It explains how editors stitched together Latin and vernacular texts to show the ceremony’s shape, while noting the challenges of translating liturgical language from the past.
Two sections of scholarly interest anchor the book: a historical framing that traces how Swedish masses evolved alongside European practice, and a presentation of the actual liturgical texts, with English renderings that aim to convey substance even when literary color is muted. Readers will find careful notes about sources, editorial choices, and the cultural context that shaped these rites.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
