Spoils of Knowledge: Seventeenth-Century Plunder in Swedish Archives and Librari

Description: Spoils of Knowledge by Emma Hagström Molin, Judith Rinker Öhman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Emma Hagström Molin uncovers the history of a most peculiar heritage: seventeenth-century plunder in the form of archival documents, manuscripts and books preserved in Swedish archives and libraries. Publisher Description In Spoils of Knowledge, Emma Hagström Molin offers novel perspectives on document and book plundering. At the forefront of her study is the controversial heritage connected to the Swedish Empire (1611–1721) kept in Swedish archives and libraries. Previous studies suggest that continental spoils were perceived as an inferior and problematic category, and that Catholic books in particular were hard to accommodate in Protestant libraries. However, by considering systems of classification and collection orders of archives and libraries, Hagström Molin unearths a much more complex history of how plundered knowledge was appreciated, used and fused with its new Swedish settings. Moreover, spanning a history of four hundred years, this book shows that the understanding of spoils changed significantly over time.This is a translation of: Krigsbytets Biografi.
