Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen: Otto Sperling the younger’s Latin biography of Leonora Christina (ca. 1690) Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen: The Danish antiquarian Otto Sperling the younger (1634‑1715) worked for most of his life on a manuscript titled ‘De foeminis doctis’, now in the collection of the Royal Library, shelfmark GKS 2110 quarto, which containedshort biographies of a total of 1,399 learned women from all ages and nations (cf. Fund og Forskning, 2012, pp. 187‑212). One of these is Leonora Christina (1621‑1698), the daughter of Christian IV and his morganatic wife, Kirsten Munk, and a major figure in Danish literature thanks to her prison narrative Jammers Minde and her so-called ‘French Autobiography’. Sperling’s Latin biography focuses on her literary achievements and contains information not found elsewhere. It has been known to scholarship for generations, and a partial translation from the eighteenth century exists in manuscript, but the text has never been published, probably because it consists of 24 pieces distributed over 18 different pages between pp. 306 and 401 of vol. I of the manuscript. It is here edited and translated into Danish for the first time, and it is argued that Sperling composed it on the basis of a series of interviews with the ageing Leonora Christina after her release from prison in 1685. In other words, Sperling functioned as Leonora Christina’s ghostwriter, and the text should really be considered autobiographical and placed alongside the Jammers Minde and her French Autobiography as an authentic expression of her personality.
Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen:丹麦古物学家Otto Sperling the younger(1634 - 1715)一生中大部分时间都在撰写一份名为“De foeminis doctis”的手稿,现收藏于皇家图书馆,书架号为GKS 2110四开,其中包含了来自各个年龄和国家的1,399名学识渊博的女性的简短传记(参见Fund og Forskning, 2012, pp. 187 - 212)。其中之一是利奥诺拉·克里斯蒂娜(1621 - 1698),她是克里斯蒂安四世和他的妻子克尔斯滕·蒙克的女儿,她是丹麦文学史上的重要人物,这要归功于她对监狱的叙述Jammers Minde和她所谓的“法国自传”。斯珀林的拉丁文传记着重于她的文学成就,并包含了在其他地方找不到的信息。几代学者都知道它,手稿中有18世纪的部分翻译,但文本从未出版过,可能是因为它由24个片段组成,分布在手稿第一卷306页和401页之间的18个不同的页面上。这本书是第一次被编辑和翻译成丹麦语,有人认为斯珀林是根据对年老的利奥诺拉·克里斯蒂娜(Leonora Christina) 1685年出狱后的一系列采访创作的。换句话说,斯珀林充当了利奥诺拉·克里斯蒂娜的代笔人,这本书应该被认为是自传体的,并与《Jammers Minde》和她的法语自传并列,作为她个性的真实表达。

Thomas Christiansen: The Engineer and the Egyptian Mummies: A Scoop from the 1910s The article contains a wealth of new and valuable information on important ancient Egyptian objects that are today housed and on display in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen and the Museum of Ancient Art (Antikmuseet) in Aarhus. Using Mediestream – a service provided by the Royal Library that allows you to access and search more than 35 million digitised Danish newspaper pages – it tells the curious story of a Danish engineer, Jacob Kjeldsen (1873‑1914), and three ancient Egyptian mummiesand coffins from the 21st Dynasty (c. 1070‑950 BCE). From the study of these newspapers it emerges that, during a trip to Egypt in 1910, Kjeldsen had acquired three mummies and coffins in Luxor from Mohammed Abd er-Rasul – a son of the infamous antiquities dealer Mohammed Ahmed Abd er-Rasul – who had discovered them in a tomb in Deir el-Bahari. Shortly after Kjeldsen’s return to Copenhagen, descriptions of the objects began to circulate in the press, and ValdemarSchmidt (1836‑1925), the first Danish Egyptologist, acquired the coffin and mummy of a priest of Amun by the name of Khonshotep for the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (inv. ÆIN 1069). During the autumn of the same year, Kjeldsen tried to sell his two remaining mummies, both female priestesses of Amun, and their coffins to the Museum of Aarhus (Aarhus Museum), but without success. Instead, they were impounded and auctioned off by the town magistrate in 1912, because Kjeldsen owed money to a patent office inCopenhagen. This is the last reference to the two mummies in the newspapers, until one of them cropped up out of the blue in Aarhus. In 1950 the newspapers reported that an industrialist, Ivan Lystager (1904‑1985), had donated an Egyptian mummy and coffin to the newly founded Museum of Ancient Art in Aarhus. The name, Taubasti, and titles, ‘Lady of the House’ and ‘Chantress of Amun’, inscribed on the coffin (inv. O 303) leave no room for doubt that it and the accompanying mummy once belonged to Kjeldsen. A letter in the archives of the museum informs us that Lystager had bought them in an antiquities shop in Copenhagen in 1939. The fate of Kjeldsen’s last mummy and coffin and their current whereabouts are still unknown. From the newspapers it can be deduced that the coffin stems from the same period (the 21st Dynasty) and was made for a woman, who also bore the titles ‘Lady of the House’ and ‘Chantress of Amun’, and probably answered to the name of Tamit. Because of onomastics and the fact that the three coffins all derive from the same period and were made for members of clergy of Amun in Thebes, it is likely that Mohammed Abd er-Rasul found the three mummies interred together in an unknown family tomb in Deir el-Bahari in 1910. The article is therefore supplemented with an appendix, which provides a catalogue of the names and titles inscribed in hieroglyphs on the two coffins in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and the Mu

Flemming A. J. Nielsen And Thorkild Kjærgaard:The First Greenlandic Book Ever since the arrival of Norse peasants in south-west Greenland in the second halfof the tenth century there have been links between the immense island (2.2 millionkm2) in the north-eastern corner of the American hemisphere and the Scandinavianworld. At the end of the twelfth century, the ancestors of today’s Inuit, a whale- andseal-hunting people speaking a language of the Eskimo-Aleut group, migrated fromEllesmere Island across the narrow Smith Sound to northern Greenland. Within twoand a half centuries, the Norse peasants had, it seems, been exterminated by the Inuit,but Greenland was never forgotten in Scandinavia. In the European world it was generallyrecognised that Greenland was Norwegian territory. In 1380 Norway enteredinto a union with Denmark, and the dream of restoring connections with Greenlandtherefore became a shared Danish-Norwegian dream, although it seemed less and lesspracticable as time went by and the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenlandbegan to teem with Dutch and British whalers and trading ships.However, in 1721 the course of history changed. A Norwegian priest, Hans Egede(1686‑1758), who had been offering his services for more than a decade, was appointed‘Royal Missionary in Greenland’ and was given the necessary support for an expeditionaiming to re-establish the old connection and to reintroduce Christianity into Greenland.Egede’s Greenlandic adventure succeeded, and over the course of the eighteenthcentury Greenland was reintegrated, bit by bit, into the multicultural, multinationalDanish-Norwegian state and society.In 1814 Norway was divided as a result of the Napoleonic Wars. Mainland Norway(what we know as Norway today) was ceded to Sweden while the remote Norwegianislands in the North Atlantic (Greenland, the Faroe Islands and, until 1944, Iceland)were annexed to the kingdom of Denmark.Being a true officer of the Danish-Norwegian empire, where every child had tobe taught to read and appreciate Luther’s Small Catechism, Egede struggled fromthe outset with the exotic Greenlandic language, not just to learn to speak a vaguelyunderstandable ‘kitchen-Greenlandic’ but also to acquire the deeper understandingof phonetic and grammatical structures that was needed in order to develop a writtenversion of the language.During Egede’s fifteen years in Greenland (1721‑36), all the documents pertainingto the mission were handwritten. This was true also for the basic Christian texts inGreenlandic which Egede and his helpers began to produce and distribute among thegrowing number of converts from as early as 1723. Back in Copenhagen in 1736, Egede founded the so-called Seminarium Groenlandicum.

Anna Lawaetz: Whatever Happened to the Santa Claus Army?On Archiving Ephemeral Theatre Forms Since the 1960s there has been a paradigm shift in the theatre towards a post-dramatictheatre, in which the playtext is not the most important basis for the staging but is partof an interplay with other parameters such as visuals, sound, and movement. This poseschallenges to traditional archival strategies that rely on the playtext. New collectionstrategies are required to ensure this cultural heritage is preserved.This study takes as its starting point a work that goes beyond the unities of action,time and place and challenges the collection strategies the most: The Santa Claus Army(Julemandshæren) by the theatre group Solvognen (1968‑83). The performance tookplace over five days in the Copenhagen area in December 1974, and was included inthe Cultural Canon in 2006 as an important contribution to Danish culture. The studyexamines only records preserved at The Royal Danish Library due to the legal depositact, as the Special Collection Department made no further acquisitions. Two sources areidentified in the study: first, contemporary and subsequent recollections, and second,works based on material from The Santa Claus Army that paraphrase the original. Thestudy compares the so-called repertoire, the oral narrative of the event, and the archivalrecords and highlights the differences. It furthermore shows how the re-staging of thework in 2006 by a younger artist is based mainly on the so call repertoire.The Santa Claus Army is well documented, although no playtext was collected. Theperformance is unfortunately not representative as Solvognen systematically used themedia to promote and enlarge their work. The main scoop of this study is that itshows how Solvognen are over-represented in contemporary and later media coveragethrough the legal deposit act compared to other theatre groups in the 1970s. This callsfor reflections on collection strategies. A revision of the legal deposit act is proposedas well as archival strategies known from other performing arts archives.

My case study examinesthe occasional poetry written for weddings, apprentices’ final examinationsand bereavements. This genre, which has always been considered as of little value, ishere taken seriously, with its roots in baroque rhetoric and poetics. It is accorded anaesthetic value and various social and identity-building functions. This is utilitarianpoetry (Gebrauchslyrik) for the prosperous artisan class, which circulated privately orsemi-publicly in the form of elaborately designed single sheets or small booklets. Theauthors were often students or poets who wanted to earn some money. In addition tothe explicit content, symptomatic gaffes and omissions shed light on facts and problemsconcerning ‘das ganze Haus’, the (consanguineous) marriage, the succession, religionand the breaking down of the guild system. The baroque repertoire of topoi and formssoon became inadequate to deal with more recent social and aesthetic developments,and occasional poetry gradually declined after 1800.

This is utilitarianpoetry (Gebrauchslyrik) for the prosperous artisan class, which circulated privately orsemi-publicly in the form of elaborately designed single sheets or small booklets. Theauthors were often students or poets who wanted to earn some money. In addition tothe explicit content, symptomatic gaffes and omissions shed light on facts and problemsconcerning ‘das ganze Haus’, the (consanguineous) marriage, the succession, religionand the breaking down of the guild system. The baroque repertoire of topoi and formssoon became inadequate to deal with more recent social and aesthetic developments,and occasional poetry gradually declined after 1800.","PeriodicalId":219437,"journal":{"name":"Fund og Forskning i Det Kongelige Biblioteks Samlinger","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132727308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
