Mapping Lived Religion

The SRC-funded project "Mapping Lived Religion: Medieval cults of saints in Sweden and Finland" based @linneuni in cooperation with the Centre for Digital Humanities @goteborgsuni , & collaborating with @historiskamuse & the Iconographical Register, ATA @raa_se is now on Twitter!

This will also be our final tweet.

It's finally happening! Six years after we found out that we got funding, our resource is ready to show to the world! blogg.lnu.se/mapping-saints…

Next week two of our project members & a member from our sister-project will be @IMC_Leeds talking about all things lived religion and medieval saints. Session 1343 - Saints in the North: Lived Religion in Medieval Sweden and Finland. imc-leeds.confex.com/imc/2024/preli…

Planning this exciting conference together with @eleonor_marcus ! See below for more info. #digitalhistory #digitalhumanities

Our partner-project in Finland has planned a final seminar to conclude their project work on #livedreligion in #medieval #Finland. For more information: sls.fi/evenemang/hur-…

So, I wrote a little popular history something with a colleague (in Swedish). About saints, donations, miracles, and a bit about the Mapping Saints project. fof.se/artikel/2024/2…

Intressanta kommande seminarier om heliga rum i Växjö organiserade av en av våra forskare @linneuni ! (Målgrupp är främst högstadie- och gymnasieelever.)

Brand new post on our blog! We have had the privilege of hosting fabulous student interns who help with the database. Here, Anton Andersson, Liberal Arts student @goteborgsuni reflects on his time in the project (Swedish): "Om att praktisera i projektet" blogg.lnu.se/mapping-saints…

Finally, a blog update! We've been busy this autumn so here's a post with... "An update from the Mapping Lived Religion project: Work on the public interface and a project retreat". blogg.lnu.se/mapping-saints…

Update time! Recently our core group met in the deep woods of Småland for 2 days of intensive work developing the public interface. Explore interface is nearly there while Advanced Search is starting to take form. Timeline now working, visualizes changes in manifestions on map!

The hypothesis of a late arrival of Leonard’s cult in the North is supported by the Swedish calendar material, where the earliest known appearance of his feast is in the fragment Sveriges Riksarkiv Fr 25596 (see @MappingSaints' database: saints.dh.gu.se/quote/12464). (4/n)

Members of our sister-project, 'Lived Religion in Medieval Finland', recently created an online exhibition of a printed edition of St Birgitta's revelations ('Revelationes Celestes', 1502) with the University of Turku Library, Finland (in Swedish). sites.utu.fi/libuniturku/sv…

Curious about medieval, Finnish wall-paintings? Check out Vilma Mättö's posts on our project blog!

The project wasn't at Leeds this year, but members from our sister project @i_levd )Lived Religion in Medieval Finland) presented their work! E.g. Anna-Stina Hägglund discussed donations to Nådendal Abbey in the session on spiritual gifts and networks in the medieval North.

Såg precis en tweet om S:t Elin som påminde mig om att dela länken till hennes biografi i Svenskt kvinnobiografiskt lexikon (SKBL) - för övrigt en suverän resurs! skbl.se/sv/artikel/Eli…
