• Sommario/riassunto: This scholarly work explores the practices of collective memory and commemoration in late medieval Livonia, which encompasses present-day Latvia and Estonia. The author, Gustavs Strenga, examines how different social groups, including religious orders and urban elites, remembered and honored the deceased through various memoria practices. The book delves into the historical context of Livonia and discusses the impact of these memory practices on social and political dynamics. It addresses the roles of the Teutonic Order, the church, and merchant guilds in shaping collective memory. Intended for historians and scholars of medieval studies, the book provides insights into the cultural and historical significance of memoria in pre-modern societies.
