Abstract [en]

Medieval miracle stories from Småland and Öland

Miracle collections and canonization processes from the Swedish Middle Ages contain some 600 individual miracle stories. A number of these have their origin in the diocese of Växjö within its present borders. They date from the thirteenth through the fifteenth centuries. Persons involved in those stories and the circumstances that made them turn to the saints are discussed in this book chapter. Miracle stories offer unique glimpses of the everyday life of women, men, and children of the Middle Ages and allow us to see that they are in reality quite close to ourselves.

Abstract [sv]

Medeltida mirakelberättelser med ursprung inom de delar av Småland och Öland som tillhör dagens Växjöstift diskuteras i detta bokkapitel. De tidigaste är från 1200-talet och de senaste från 1400-talet. Människor som förekommer i dessa berättelser identifieras och de omständigheter som fick dem att söka helgonens hjälp diskuteras. Mirakelberättelser erbjuder unika inblickar i medeltida vardagsliv och låter oss komma närmare kvinnor, män och barn som levde då. Därigenom kan vi också erfara att de var ganska lika oss själva.
