My researchfocuses on various aspects of historiography, especially that of 16th century Sweden, and on marginalia. I devote myself to a widely circulated 14th century Latin translation of Marco Polo'sfamous travelogue.
My mainproject at the moment, however, is about a Latin dissertationfrom 1685, De draconibus (On Dragons), funded by one of the Ohlsson foundationsin Lund. I am preparing an article and a Swedish translation with a shortcommentary and introduction, to be published in the series BibliothecaNeolatina Upsaliensis.
Inaddition, an article about Erik XIV's books, linked to my earlier monograph (2021), and his use ofcontemporary visual material as an inspiration for his annotations, is inpreparation. Finally, I am preparing a new project on the use of sources inolder historiography.
My most recently finished projects are on identity in Swedish 16th century historiography and on the depiction of Lutherans and Lutheranism in a work from that same period.
