Book Title: Book Collections of Clerics in Norway, 16501750 (Studies in the History of Christian Traditions) Book Author: Gina Dahl (Author) Series: Studies in the History of Christian Traditions Hardcover: 380 pages Publisher: BRILL (5 Oct 2010) Language: English ISBN-10: 9004188991 ISBN-13: 978-9004188990 Book Description This study of clerical book collections in Norway 1650–1750 provides detailed evidence about the circulation of books among one specific layer of the educated classes in a peripheral part of Europe. The wide range of authors and works included in these book collections proves that the Norwegian clergy partook in the European flow of information across borders, a flow that was marked by expansion and exchange rather than narrowness and rigidity. Three core source areas stand out in terms of book acquisition, namely Germany, the Netherlands and England. This wide range of book distribution is indicative of the early modern transmission of knowledge across borders which took place in all areas of academic debate in the wake of Gutenberg. About the Author Gina Dahl, Dr. Art. (2007) in history of religion, University of Bergen, is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Bergen. She has published numerous articles on book distribution in early modern Norway. Readership All those interested in book history, religious history, ecclesiastical history, intellectual history and cultural studies in the early modern period.
