Danska, skånska, svenska: före och efter 1658
No full textScania became part of Sweden after the peace treaty in Roskilde 1658. The article discusses the linguistic effects of the change in political status. The official written language in the province took over the differentiating features from the Swedish written language quite soon (after 50 years or so) and probably also the spoken urban language was to some extent influenced by Swedish. The dialects - spoken by the majority of the Scanian inhabitants -living outside the towns continued to be approximately the same and they were influenced by the Swedish standard language from the end of the 19th century just as other rural dialects in Sweden
A chart of the South Sea [cartographic material] /
No full textMap of the Pacific Ocean, being the first English map of the Pacific Ocean, loosely based on Jansson's 1650 map of the Pacific but much updated with additional coverage of the Gulf Coast and the southeastern coast of the United States. California is depicted as an island off the coast of Nova Granada and Nova Hispania but the Americas are heavily annotated with placenames, particularly the west coast of both continents. The map features details based on discoveries such as States Land [i.e. New Zealand] discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642 with 9 placenames; in the northwest appears Iapan [i.e. Japan], the land of Eso [possibly Sakhalin] and Companies Land, and the Isles of Ladrones [i.e. northern Mariana Islands]. The map features the discovery of significant numbers of Pacific islands including those discovered by the Spanish explorer Hernand Galego in 1576 and Magellan in 1519 as well as those discovered by Jacob Le Maire and Willem Schouten in 1615-16. The map also features a limited part of Nova Guinea [i.e. New Guinea and Carpentaria conjoined] with 13 placenames as well as the southern coastline of Anthony Van Dieman's Land [i.e. Tasmania] with 8 place names. Decorative features include coloured outlines of land areas, a colourful title cartouche depicting examples of native costume, a compass rose, rhumb lines, and col. illustrations of 3 sailing ships and 2 whales.; Cartouche title.; Plate 304 from: Atlas maritimus, or the sea-atlas; being a book of maritime charts ... / by John Seller.

The 1658 poem Satyrus rudis and its presumed author
No full textThe paper covers the question of the authorship of quite a long-versifi ed text published in Krakow in 1658 and titled Satyrus Rudis de Eliberatione Cracoviae et Bello Suecico. The poem evinces the indicators of several genres, however, it mostly fulfi lls the parodic convention of the heroic epic. Within its plotlines it covers, among others, the occurrences of one of the Swedish incursions into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so called Deluge, and the attempts to liberate Krakow from the Swedish occupation. Finally, the city was rescued by Jerzy Lubomirski in 1657. Since the work was printed without the author’s name on the title page, attempts at resolving the question of the authorship were made. The author of the paper states that the poem might be written by one of the scholars at the Academy of Krakow

Oliver Cromwell, Regicide and Kingship, 1647-1658
No full textThis article strips back the post-Restoration veneer to uncover the realities of Cromwell’s political career from the late 1640s through to his death in 1658. Specifically, it focuses on the trial of Charles Stuart, and the motivations behind it, as well as exploring Cromwell’s attitudes towards the abolition of kingship that followed the regicide. Finally, it briefly examines Cromwell’s reign as Lord Protector and the extent to which the regime was a monarchy in all but name. Above all, it will show that Cromwell was no hypocrite. Instead, it is important to appreciate that for Cromwell – as for many others in the 1640s and 50s – political considerations waited on religious ones. Political forms and titles were relatively unimportant for Cromwell; they were a means to an end. As he would famously put it during the debates of the army council at Putney in late 1647, they were but ‘dross and dung in comparison of Christ’. It is his lack of care about titles or forms of government that makes Oliver Cromwell worth caring about.</p
