Die erhöhte Mobilität im Hochmittelalter leistete einen Beitrag zur Europäisierung Skandinaviens. Der Autor geht der Frage nach, welchen aktiven Anteil die Skandinavier an diesem Integrationsprozess hatten. Dazu wählt er einen prosopographischen Zugriff: Die Sammlung aller in nordeuropäischen und sonstigen Quellen überlieferten Personen, die aus Skandinavien stammten und es mindestens ein Mal verlassen haben, ergibt einen Katalog von 855 Personen, 617 Reisen und 1152 Reiseteilnahmen. Zu jeder Person hat der Autor ein Biogramm erstellt, in dem die wichtigsten Lebensdaten, Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse und sämtliche Reisen aufgeführt werden. Diese Prosopographie dient als Grundlage für eine vergleichende Analyse, zu der Fragen nach Reiseintentionen und bevorzugten Zielen gehören. Die in den Quellen gefundenen Wege und Stationen der Reisenden werden abgeglichen mit einem ausführlichen Itinerar des isländischen Mönchs Nikulás von Munkathverá, der um 1150 eine Reise nach Rom und Jerusalem unternahm und darüber einen ausführlichen Bericht in altnordischer Sprache verfasste. Der Autor untersucht außerdem anhand eines Fallbeispiels, welche kulturellen Transferleistungen durch die Reisen angestoßen wurden: Wer bringt welche Eindrücke, Gegenstände oder Ideen von woher mit, und welche Auswirkungen hatte das auf sein Lebensumfeld?

Dynamics of thinking, creativity, and translatability of intellectual impulses from Europe to multimodal and multilingual medieval Scandinavia. This book investigates the nature of intellectual activity in the Middle Ages from the perspective of medieval Scandinavia by discussing how a multimodal and multilingual Scandinavian culture emerged through the dynamic interchange of foreign and local impulses in the minds of creative intellectuals. By deploying cognitive theory, this volume conceptualizes intellectual culture as the result of the individual?s cognition, which incorporates physical perceptions of the world, memory and creation, rationality, emotionality and spirituality, and decision making. In doing so, it elucidates the diversity of social roles that could be assumed by people engaged in the activity of thinking. Attention is paid in particular to the key intellectual activities of negotiating secular and religious authority and identity; to thinking and learning through verbal and visual means; and to ruminating on worldly existence and heavenly salvation. These processes are explored in a series of essays that focus on various visual and textual artefacts, among them Church art and sculptures, manuscript fragments, and texts of both different languages (Latin and Old Norse) and genres (sagas, poetry and grammatical treatises, laws, liturgical explanations and theological texts). The variety of intellectual and ideational processes connected to the textual and material culture of medieval Scandinavia forms the focal point of this study. As a result, this book actively seeks to transcend the traditional cultural dichotomies of written versus oral material, Latin versus vernacular, lay versus secular, or European versus Nordic by foregrounding the cognitive and creative agency of intellectuals in medieval Scandinavia

"In the wake of religious conversion and the establishment of more stable political systems, the outskirts of Latin Christendom produced historical narratives providing their present identities with a foundational past. The essays collected in this volume all seek to illuminate the emergence of a written historical culture in Denmark from the early twelfth century onwards by situating this historical culture in a wider geographical, chronological, and cultural context. The essays in this volume aim to gain insight into Danish historical narratives written in Latin in the long twelfth century. In the wake of religious conversion and the establishment of more stable political systems, the outskirts of Latin Christendom produced historical narratives providing their present identities with a foundational past. The essays gathered here all seek to illuminate the emergence of a written historical culture in Denmark from the early twelfth century onwards by situating this historical culture in a wider geographical, chronological, and cultural context. 0The period from c.1050 to 1225 saw the emergence of historical narratives about Danish affairs, a development mirroring both the rapid growth of historical writing in the Latin West in this period and the consolidation of Denmark as a Christian kingdom on the model of the great western monarchies. This volume as a whole aims to gain insight into Danish historical narratives written in Latin in the long twelfth century, both by drawing on the theoretical and methodological advances gained through increasing general scholarly interest in medieval historiography over the last decades, and by placing these texts in a larger cultural and intellectual context through comparisons with historical narratives from other areas, particularly England, France, and Germany. The sixteen essays combined in this volume thus range from detailed formal analyses to comparative studies of wider trends in the historiographical developments of the high Middle Ages.
