Dear Brother, Gracious Maecenas : latin letters of the Gyldenstople brothers (1661-1680) presents Latin letters exchanged between six sons of Michael Wexionius Gyldenstople, the first Professor of History and Politics at the Academy of Turku. The letters offer insights into the life of a seventeenth-century educated family ; their subject matters range from learned discussion to gossip and from larger-world news to family items. The Gyldenstople brothers tell about their education, career search, travels, social networks, marriage, negotiations, jobs, finances, joys and sorrows, hopes and fears. In the present volume, the letters that have been preserved in one manuscript are edited ; their contents are described in English synopses and commented upon. The introductory chapter discusses the language, epistolary style and conventions of Latin letter writing. The volume serves readers interested in several aspects of Swedish and Finnish history and culture in the early modern period.
