Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four ...

Vreta Abbey
Vreta Abbey ( sv, Vreta kloster), in operation from the beginning of the 12th century to 1582, was the first nunnery in Sweden, initially Benedictine and later Cistercian, and one of the oldest in Scandinavia. It was located in the present-day municipality of Linköping in Östergötland. History The exact year of the foundation is not known. The abbey was founded by King Inge the Elder of Sweden and Queen Helena on the orders of Pope Paschal II, which gives a date range for the foundation: Paschal became pope in 1099; the date of Inge's death is disputed, but probably occurred around 1105 or a little later. In the following decade King Inge the Younger and Queen Ulvhild made large donations to it. The original buildings burned down in the early 13th century, but were rebuilt, and a new church was dedicated in the presence of Magnus III and Hedwig of Holstein in 1289. Vreta Abbey was a house of Benedictine nuns until 1162, when it was turned into a Cistercian nunnery. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bridgettine Nuns
The Bridgettines, or Birgittines, formally known as the Order of the Most Holy Savior (; abbreviated OSsS), is a monastic religious order of the Catholic Church founded by Saint Birgitta or Bridget of Sweden in 1344, and approved by Pope Urban V in 1370. They follow the Rule of Saint Augustine. There are today several different branches of Bridgettines. History The first monastery of the order was founded in 1369 at the former royal castle of Vadstena. St. Bridget's granddaughter, Lady Ingegerd Knutsdotter, was Abbess of Vadstena from 1385 to 1403. Upon her death on 14 September 1412, direct descent from St. Bridget became extinct. This opened the medieval concept of "Bridget's spiritual children", members of the order founded by her, to be her true heirs. The order spread widely in Sweden and Norway, and played a remarkable part in promoting culture and literature in Scandinavia; to this is to be attributed the fact that the motherhouse at Vadstena, by Lake Vättern, was not ...

Karin Johansdotter
Karin Johansdotter (died after 1605), was a Swedish Roman Catholic nun of the Bridgettine Order. She was the last nun in Sweden after the Swedish Reformation. Karin Johansdotter joined the Vadstena Abbey at an unknown year. She was still of childbearing age in 1605, and is thus likely to have joined the Vadstena Abbey during the reign of John III of Sweden or Sigismund III Wasa, when Sweden leaned toward a counter-reformation, and the Abbey was allowed to receive novices again: the last novice was accepted to the Abbey as late as 1593. In 1593, however, the Uppsala Synod proclaimed Lutheranism as state religion in Sweden, provoking a conflict between the Catholic king Sigismund and his Protestant uncle Duke Charles during the Swedish-Polish personal union, and initiating a development toward the War against Sigismund, resulting in the final completion of the Swedish Reformation. In 1594, following the Uppsala Synod, Duke Charles and Bishop Abraham Angermannus visited the Vadstena ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Valborg Fleming
Valborg Joakimsdotter Fleming (died after 1542) was a Finnish abbess. She was the abbess of Nådendal Abbey in 1526–1531. Biography She was born before 1494 as the daughter of the ''riksråd'' nobleman Joakim Fleming and Elin Björnsdotter of Svidja, and the sister of ''riksråd'' admiral Erik Joakimsson Fleming and Ivar Fleming, two of the most powerful men in Finland, and aunt of Filippa Fleming. She was placed in Nådendal Abbey as a nun by her family, and was promoted abbess in 1526. This was one year before the Swedish Reformation. During the reformation, the convent was placed under pressure. The reformation allowed for the donors, or the families of former donors, to retract all donations made to convents, which placed all convents at financial risk: additionally, the convents were banned from accepting new members, and the existing were allowed to leave if they wished. These were problems Valborg had to attend during her tenure. Despite being the sister of the most powe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antonio Possevino
Antonio Possevino (Antonius Possevinus) (10 July 1533 – 26 February 1611) was a Jesuit protagonist of Counter Reformation as a papal diplomat and a Jesuit controversialist, encyclopedist and bibliographer. He was the first Jesuit to visit Muscovy, Sweden, Denmark, Livonia, Hungary, Pomerania, and Saxony in amply documented papal missions between 1578 and 1586 where he championed the enterprising policies of Pope Gregory XIII. Life Mantua, Rome, and Ferrara: Renaissance humanist and tutor Recent scholarship has identified Antonio Possevino's family as New Christians admitted to the learned circles of the court of Renaissance Mantua and its Gonzaga dukes. His father was Piedmontese from Asti and moved to Mantua where he joined the guild of goldsmiths. The family name was changed from Cagliano (Caliano) and had three sons, Giovanni Battista, Antonio and Giorgio. His mother nursed her son Antonio in 1533 together with Francesco III Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. His older broth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
