The Birgittine-Norwegian texts are very distinctive from the main Birgittine vernacular corpus of literature and have taxed scholars for decades as to why and for whom they were written. The linguistic study of the manuscript is combined with contextual and historical information in order to reinforce the arguments made and offer explanations within a cultural context. This provides a welcome new dimension to earlier research that has otherwise been pursued to a large degree within a single academic discipline.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;Volume 194.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions.Texts & sources ;Volume 7.Private revelationsVisionsPrivate revelations.Visions.271.97Adams Jonathan531270Sweden.Riksarkivet.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825311303321The revelations of St Birgitta4058632UNINA
